Greetings from the Cripple River Gold Camp! Today the weather is great, warm and sunny, with just a slight breeze. Adventuresome folks wanting to get away from the camp for a day, maybe to rest up from prospecting---which is hard work, took to their rental ATV’s and zipped off on other prospecting pursuits or to visit interesting places.

Greetings from the Cripple River Gold Camp! The first crew into camp this year, (also called the early crew) arrived in Nome the sixth of June. As they made their way out to the Cripple River camp on the seventh of June these intrepid and hardy spirits had a big surprise waiting for them. Ice and snow! Deep ice and snow everywhere. Unbeknownst to them this year Mother Nature decided to let her favorite daughter Spring, tired from all the great work she did the last few years, sleep in late.
