I think I'm digging a cyber 'rabbit hole', I'd better stop.

JeffA;
Top of the morning once more to you sir, I hope you're getting weather you can use and you're well.

Thanks for the continued photo sharing.

I've been a student of history for my entire life and very much enjoy learning from this sort of thing. Some of it has a personal connection as noted with the Havre photos and some just connects me with friends. A good friend and neighbor spends the summer in a mine near Dawson City for instance and we've got friends in Whitehorse, so another visit up there has been on my personal bucket list since the last time I was there as a kid in the early '70's.

Thanks again and Happy Fourth of July.

Early Bristol Bay Salmon fishing fleet.

That nugget in weight alone would be worth $330,00.00 now.
Nice find.

Absolutely great thread. Thanks to alk.
