NOt4ME

My time in Nome is coming to an end.  Friday October 3rd, 2014 I will be completing this assignment and flying out of Nome.  It has been a wonderful, fun, awesome adventure.

I have seen beautiful views.

I saw plenty of gold dredges.   Some retired.

Some still in use.

I have seen some interesting sites.

I bought my first ATV.

I completed my second 1/2 marathon.

I caught my first Arctic grayling.   I saw beluga whales.

I traded shirts with a guy at a bar.(He liked my Hawaiian shirt.)

I have seen live musk ox for the first time.

  I have met many wonderful and caring people.  It has been an interesting 26 weeks.  I have found out just how expensive food can be in parts of the United States.  I have found out that sometimes people are correct when they say, "You cannot get there from here."
I have also learned, that Nome is not for me (NOt4ME).  I have enjoyed Nome, and I enjoy Alaska.  My wanderlust, requires me to be on the road system.  I grew up in rural Nebraska.  Pender only had a population of 1200, as far as I can remember, but you could always go places.  Nome has 2 flights in and out a day, if the weather cooperates.  That is a BIG IF.  So this is my final blog post from Nome.  I will be back to see the end of the Iditarod race one day.
       I hope you will continue to follow my adventures at my new blog (Thank you Angie Landauer for the name):

I am leaving the traveling PT lifestyle.  I have taken a full-time outpatient PT position.  I will be the first Physical Therapist in a brand new clinic.

I will be leaving Nome, but staying in Alaska.
