This weekend allowed me to experience an Alaskan summer. On Friday, we went Snake River and meet up with some friends. The ones we met up with had been on the river fishing and caught two dollyvarden fish. After putting butter and other spices on it, they wrapped it in butter and grilled it. By the time we arrived, they were grilling the second fish and eating the first fish. The told us to pick off what we wanted from the fish. It was wonderful! After dinner, we got some gold pans and tried our luck in the river. With the water being too cold, we couldn't put our hands in it for long periods of time. We decided we would stick to our day job.
The next day, we went to West Beach (the beach on the west end of Nome). We started a bonfire on the beach enjoyed the sound of the water. John was paning for gold on the shore but the gold was so fine he couldn't find anything. In fact, I was fasinated at how shiny my shoes were after our trip to the beach. Clearly there was remains of gold stuck to our shoes because my shoes look like there is glitter on it. Graham and Jeff built a fort out of drift wood. For a place that has no trees, there is a lot of drift wood here! Eventually we decided to have a cookout. We grilled hot dogs and made smores over our fire. It was delicious but still a little chilly in this 40-50 degree June evening.
Sunday was my first weekend work day. My job has me operate the radio station by mysel on Sundays. During this time, I do various tasks like find news that is worthy to read on the air. In addition, I have to record the weather report so it will be played every hour. In addition, I have 2 music specials. I play new music and easy listening music after each news report.
The picture above was from a few days ago when David, Danielle, and I took a walk on the beach.
