Cripple River ATV ride/Bering Sea Gold

Summer is over, and the colors of autumn have appeared on the tundra.  Decided to take another ATV trip out the beach to the Cripple River.  This time we went past the Cripple River Camp to take in a little more scenery.

   On the way out the beach, I was able to take a few

action pictures of the gold dredges.

 They were working on this beautiful day.

 This is one way to get Bering Sea Gold.

Their season is almost over as well.  If you are interested in taking up offshore gold mining, now is a great time to buy a gold dredge.   Many of the dredges are for sale, and most of the miners will be leaving for the winter.

A few posts ago I had pictures of the Cripple River mining camp.  These pictures are of the tundra as you go past the camp.

That is the Cripple River.

There has been a little rain on the trail.

There is still some green on the tundra, but it is going fast.

It is still that the water is so clear.

I mean it is really clear.

The sky was really clear as well.

The reds and yellows are starting to show up on the tundra.

The man and woman who started the Cripple River camp were buried out here.

Where you see red, there are likely blueberries.

Honest, wild bluberries.

They really do taste great!  Much smaller than the ones you buy at the grocery store.

Thanks for checking out my blog.  That is all the photos for now.
