Greetings from the Cripple River Gold Camp! The weather here has been unpredictable, hot and sunny, cold and drizzly, damp and sprinkley, then warm again. Then a storm blew in! For a day or so the mosquitoes and the beach miners both were put out. The Bering Sea turned the color of cold hot chocolate and each wave crest was topped with row after row of snorting, rearing, cavorting dazzlingly snow white wave-horses.

The flowers are finally out in force, most are smaller than usual, but still a bright riot of color!

Greetings from the Cripple River Gold Camp! We have been having absolutely perfectly-scrumptitious weather!

It's hard to believe it’s the fifth week is here already! Every summer, the time here races by on wings, but this year the summer days seem to be flying away with a tail wind behind it.

The weather here is absolutely fantabulous!!! The sun is bright and shiny, and it is toasty warm.

Summer has come to the Cripple River Gold Camp again! The early crew has been out and about repairing the damages caused by the camp’s long and lonely winter vigil. We humans in the lower forty-eight wait for summer to arrive so we can again return to Nome Alaska. We come from all over and meet here, twelve miles from Nome, where the waters of the Cripple River and the Bering Sea come together to dance in delight and share secret kisses.
