Great pictures Sammy!
I especially like the one on the Dexter Creek in Nome in the 1800's, with the women working together with the men. ;) Thanks for sharing...:) -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I'd like to see a modern day photo side by side as a comparision to the past as those houses look a lil' close to the beach for me....
Great Pictures Sammy.....Clearly I grew up in the wrong time period, I'd love to had an opportunity to work those beaches. Maybe I can get Oregon to open up its beaches.... -------------------- |

Wow. No idea your site was THAT old Dan! '03? Wow!
