I’ve been out for a brief foray/recon here in Nome and wanted to share a few sights with you. First, of course, the famous burled arch has been erected and awaits the mushers:
Next, a sign of free enterprise in this amazing little city:
Last, but certainly not least, my favorite sign in front of the Nome Department of Redundancy Department:
If the internet holds together up here, I might have a real treat for you later this afternoon!… Stay tuned!
MacG,
this with the redundancy dept is a joke?
or, what is it actually doing? :o)
but looks cool.
great reporting.
yeah, Aliy takes a rest now? she was fourth…. and it looks as if those teams that took rests are getting now stronger …
go Aliy, go!
I admire Allen going with the "kids" on the big tour ….
must be fun and bring also good stories about them learning.
respect, Allen, and:
go Allen, go!
The sign is real… the "Redundancy Dept" is my humor only…
Aliy was never fourth… only a "trick" of the GPS mileage… Please see comments in previous post.
Allen is doing very well with the "kids"… Very well!
Love the $3 beers. Even in NYC it's not THAT much for a can of Beast. How much is a load laundry up there?
I don't know about the laundry prices, but I can tell you that a Subway "$5 footlong" is $8 up here…
LOL. Thanks for the price answer.
