From Home to Nome and Back


To get to Nome, the first thing to do is to load the 4-wheeler on a boat and go across the channel. The 4-wheeler barely fits on the boat.

This is what the boat looks like with the 4-wheeler on it. There is also the trailer in the boat.


Finally, on the road. It was a beautiful trip. 70 miles from Teller to Nome.

The road the whole time. Except on the way back it was raining.

Just a view from the road.

Trip up Sunset

We took the 4-wheeler out and followed the trail up to Sunset. Eventually the trail ends, but until then, this is what is sorta looks like.

The trail ends, and in its place is the river. We rode the river for most of the trip. It was crazy.
There is this old house that was built from a family that found gold in these hills. This is taken from an upstairs window. Muskox herds are all over the mountains, but this is the closest I've seen them. This was also the biggest herd I've seen so far. It was amazing.
Trees like this do not grow up in Brevig Mission or the surrounding area. These are brought over with storm surges from Russia.

This was just a cute little waterfall that fed into the river that we were driving in.
