Good morning from Nome, Alaska. We just had a great night sleep here at the
Dredge No.7 Inn.... And since we had to leave our Overland expedition Vehicle
in Anchorage.... Dredge No. 7, also has cheap rentals!... So you may be wondering.....
"Nome, Alaska?" "That's pretty remote! How many roads
could there possibly be there?" Well our buddy Richard said, there's like around
350 miles of roads!.... I think we're ready to hit the road to Council and ahhh...It's a 70
mile drive?.... Something like that... About that!... Yeah... So apparently the geography and the
topography is very diverse in this direction!.... Richard the Mayor really
recommended we do the drive to Council first! Instead of the drive to Tower
and we're still in process to try to find and get permits to go to Pilgrim
Hot Springs which is on land owned by the Native Corporation. So... This little
office here on the left is where we went earlier to inquire about permits... And no
matter where you are, you can always find a Chinese food restaurant!.... You see a lot of
ETVs sporting around town.... That's pretty normal in the villages guys! ATVs and
the winter snow machines are very convenient forms of transportation!... And
also use less fuel so they're more economical!...Yeah!
Okay! I know a lot of you guys love it when we hit the dirt roads.... And here it is... Boom! Let the adventure begin!
Dare you say that you're happy that google is here?...Yes... Might be a little ill-prepared for this! Because I
envisioned catching grayling and some of the creeks and streams.... But when we got
here, this area.... Let me just get this cast master off.... This area is plugged with
pink salmon! So since I was thinking grayling, which are like yay big! I
grabbed... One of my little miniature ice fishing setup with four pound test. So
this could be fun!..Look at all of them. Oh my! They are like seven at once!... You see why we couldn't help but stop
Normally when I guess snagging, I have to just rip on the shore... There we go!
That was easy!... Broke my line at the end!
My line broke just as we were releasing that fish! So yeah! You know we're not here on
a fishing trip... This is all just spur of the moment! That's why we're doing catch
and release. And there are literally thousands of fish in here and that fish
was released unharmed and it'll spawn! If something else doesn't catch it or a
predator doesn't need it or...Yeah!... Is this the cast?...I hope so!... No shortage of a fish out there
though...No! I love the way they look like sharks... Swimming around while only seeing their fins
come up. But it's so cool!.... Yeah guys! This Lagoon for lack of another word... Oh hey...
There it is! Fish on!... I've never caught a fish on this small of a whine... Any recommendations?... Reel it in slow...
If he wants to pull-drag, pull-drag! Do not tighten the drag because the drag is
our friend when you're using four pound test!
Hehehehe.. A little bit more than you insert it...
Yep..Wow look at him!... That's a nice-looking humpy!... Hey, we also get to show off your shoes! Nice
footwear honey! You need to get them dirty so you look like
an Alaskan! Because when they're new you look a tourist!...It's like being a kid in a
candy shop out here! You just like can't help yourself! I know we're not eating
them but still... It's so much fun being able to just cast a line out and almost...
Let's see.... Guarantee you're gonna catch a fish!.. My fish is bigger than your fish! True
yours was a buff this is a hen! But... To release it is so simple!...Boom! One more cast...
There's...Oh it's just one more cast!... Hmm... Okay! One more cast... Last cast I promise honey!... Right!
one last cast honey...Are you guys keeping count of how many times he said that now?
Because.... I've lost track!... There's always time for one more cast!
How lucky are we to live in a state where you can do stuff like this! But there's a
definite... Definitely like a different element of the sport on light tackle! I
get it.I love it!... Ready for the release?
Okay! It's time to get back on the road! Because we still have a fair amount of
distance to cover if we're gonna make it... Towards.... Council!
This is the end of the road guys! About 73 miles from Nome... This is where Council
is but.... Actually Council is on the other side of the river and... The river is right
down here! And this river is completely crossable!
If you have local knowledge and you're not in a rental vehicle... Because you're
not allowed to cross the river! I understand!..I do to!
There's a lot at risk here! I wouldn't... You know...With Danny, I wouldn't pull up here and
just cross willy-nilly... No!... Well, There is no phone service out here...And the're... She said there are rocks underneath the
water that you can't!...Well there's hazards! And.. If you know the route, it's a
piece of cake!... This is nice guys! I am in a happy place!.... There's not too many
places in the world where one can get so detached from civilization!! But yet still
be on a road system!.... This is really cool! And off in the distance there... You can
see the village of Council. What a grand adventure guys!... What do you think?... I hope
everybody's enjoying this as much as we are! And I'm so glad that Ben loves this
place as much as I thought he would! Because I've always wanted to come out
here with you... Is this like a place where we could maybe have a property at some
point in our lives?... I definitely think that we could have like a summer home or something up here!
Our buddy Clinton raves about this area and one to retire up here... Who knows?
There's really a weird colour of dirt out here. It's almost green!.... It' is!..It is
kind of crazy!..It is... Unique materials out here! It has been
quite nice having the Jeep and taken the top off there, it's so easy!... Yeah it was
really fun to do!It's refreshing! I've had a lot of fun and plus we've got some
kick-ass angles..I think so!... Well we may have packed a lunch but we didn't pack dinner! And it's
time to head back to Nome but before we do so... Rebecca is gonna fly the drone on
the way back... Yeah.. You ready for them?..I told them today maybe I need my own drone because
he never lets me fly ours!... No no no no I'd never...You never want!... Well, too much pressure
But this is no pressure! And let's see how she does guys!
Leave a comment below of how you think your drone footage looks..It might be better than his... Could be! you got
a good teacher!
I think this brings our Nome to Council overlandish adventure to a close for
today! We're back at the Dredge No. 7 Inn... Alright well thank you for joining us
hope you enjoyed that last drone flight of the day! We will see you tomorrow for
some more adventures here in Nome!... Definitely catch what we're up to here!
There's gonna be at least two to three videos... Yeah.... Thanks for watching guys see
you tomorrow
