Back From Alaska, A Different Version

[Gerry in Idaho]

Well you certainly bring back many memories Chris from my AK detecting adventures.  

Part of the fun on DP is us guys who devote the time to explore/adventure with detectors and then share out stories, photos and finds.  It allows others the chance to see/feel (with out the mosquitos) and enjoy the trip.

Glad you were able to stretch the back (get exercise while chasing gold), actually find quite a bit of Au and were able to come home safe.  Hopefully the back get to heeling more and we see you in the NNV fields this Fall.

Nice pics too.

Was in Fairbanks and Dawson a few summers back,  Packed mostly heavy jackets, pants, caps nit caps and gloves.......freezing cold Alaska right?    Not exactly.  As an after thought I threw in a pair of cargo shorts and few t shirts and glad I did. The week I was there it was in the mid to high 80's and it was actually cooler  back where I live in San Diego!   Locals said: " Oh yah, we can get several weeks of hot weather every July / August."

Boy did I feel like a  greenhorn California knuckle head
