1985.I have never been to Nome.Went there with 40 bucks spending money,but had a round trip ticket for just incase.It was the year Libby Riddles won the iditarod.
Made a hole in the snowbank and used a cardboard box for a cushion.I looked for the cheepest way to eat,also had a beer a couple times.Stayed for 5 days.
Until you have tried or been there done that,most have no idea what these people are going through.
