My grandson, Triston, and I attended the first week of the 2010 Cripple River Expedition. To all the volunteers and to the Massie family, we thank you for the best adventure and quality time, ever.

Every year the State of Alaska issues an annual dividend to residents who have resided in Alaska for at least one year. The residents then, historically, use those funds to travel throughout the state and to the lower 48 states to visit friends and family members.

The Alaskan television series will make its online debut Monday, April 5, on goldprospectors.org. For those of you who followed the show on the Outdoor Channel, this is your chance to see your favorite episodes again. For those who missed the series, this is a chance to see it for the first time.

After spending seven weeks filming on the shores of the Seward Peninsula and hundreds of hours editing back in Southern California, it's hard to believe the Alaskan series is coming to an end.

I looked at the Nome Web cam today and saw nothing but white and figured that it must be broken.
