The Second Class Saloon Nome, AK. July 1st, 1901

The"Three Lucky Swedes," Jafet Lindeberg, Erik Lindblom, and John Brynteson, had a destiny intertwined with adventure when they stumbled upon a glittering treasure of gold on Anvil Creek in 1898. The news of their extraordinary find spread like wildfire through the Klondike gold fields that very winter. By 1899, a vibrant new settlement called Anvil City emerged, proudly boasting a population of 10,000.

But the true frenzy was yet to come. In the following year of 1899, as rumors swirled about gold hidden within the beach sands, the world outside caught wind, and a magnificent stampede was set into motion as thousands upon thousands of fortune seekers surged toward the fabled land of Nome, their hearts ablaze with hope. They arrived with enthusiasm and anticipation from the distant ports of Seattle and San Francisco.

Tents sprouted like wildflowers, covering the vast expanse, extending as far as the eye could see along the 30-mile stretch between Cape Rodney and Cape Nome. As early as 1899, the determined pioneers began erecting structures crafted from finished board lumber.

The golden age of this bustling mining town unfolded during the first decade of the new century, a glorious era that witnessed Nome's ascendancy as Alaska's largest city. Some estimates claimed that the population soared to an astonishing 20,000 souls, although the official record of 1900 reported a slightly lower but still impressive figure of 12,488. Astonishingly, the U.S. Census revealed that one-third of all recorded white inhabitants of Alaska called Nome their home.

Yet, the ravages of fire and the wrath of violent storms marred the grandeur of Nome's gold rush architecture. Little remains today of that captivating era. However, remnants that survived the passage of time bear a touch of the ornate Victorian style that captivated the hearts of many during the frantic gold rush.

Today, the resilient inhabitants of this land have diversified their livelihoods, no longer relying solely on the gold pan and rocker. The legacy of the gold rush endures, but it now represents just a fraction of the vibrant tapestry that weaves together the past 100 years of Nome's captivating history, where a rich flow of people and events has shaped its contemporary community.

MYSTERIOUS SPIRAL
This was a first! An illuminating gyre in the sky sails through the aurora and over Donnelly Dome near Delta Junction, Alaska, on April 15, 2023 at 1:54 am AKDT (9:54 UTC).

WHAT IS IT?!
After doing some online research, this phenomenon appears to be rocket engine exhaust from a SpaceX Transporter-7 mission that launched on the Falcon 9 about three hours earlier in California. Water v***r in the exhaust (or jettisoned fuel causing it to spiral?) from the second stage engine freezes and catches high-altitude sunlight, effectively glowing and creating this spiral-galaxy-looking display of light. The payload is 51 satellites and on its initial polar orbit, it did a pass-by over Alaska, stunning many night-watchers including myself. Trust me, at first, I was totally bewildered… and I kind of enjoyed that feeling of the unknown.

p.s. for pointer stars – see the Big Dipper near the top end of the spiral? “Spill out of the dipper” and the last two stars point to the North Star to the right. This really is galactic!

This is worth Wacthong!!!!
