As I said I've taken a couple of days off rollerskiing. Most every one of my APU teammates have scattered to various parts of AK so there's not much incentive for me to stick around this weekend.

Someone told me, "Don't ever say 'let's go to Nome' because we will end up in Nome." I of course said 'let's go to nome.' Just to test this claim. And now I'm in Nome.

Nome was a big gold mining rush 1898-1920 and has a lot of really sweet history and artifacts. I may try to pan for gold tomorrow.

Aside from gold & history, the big discovery of the trip has been POP ROCKS in the local sketchy convenience store. I didn't think they made those any more. If anyone wants to put in a pop rock order while I'm up here let me know. They have red, green, & blue.
