In the gold country now. Nome, but stuck on anchor waiting for a weather change on the way to Prudhoe Bay. Wrong time of the year to be taking a vessel north but somehow I got roped into this operation and with only a moments notice. In the meantime my buddies back in Homer are checking out some prospecting spots that we had some supposed good inside info on and probably dragging gunny sacks of gold back to their boat and I haven't even got turn on the Mine Lab.
