    This is rogers wife. He doesn't stay in nome the winter. He is with me and his son for the winter. He does have some nightmares about that night. He isn't giving up on gold mining though.

    Dam that sucks that he lost everything from that storm. Wow. But hey it’s in that nice virgin ground. Hopefully he’ll find the motherload so he can get back on his feet again. And hopefully before the winter and gets really cold. That bracelet is nice. That a find of a lifetime. That gem stone does look like amethyst. Thanks for sharing.

    My wife figures his lazer gem stone is a rhodolite, he should sell it in the main land to Tiffany and company. We both love your show. Were in Alberta, flour gold only here on the rivers. thanks for sharing cheers, Kelly

    I'm impressed with your character Bryan. You could've easily went there checking on him with the "I told ya so" mentality, after all the warning you gave him beforehand. But you didn't. Says a lot.

    Man, so glad you got this video out. Been wondering about Roger. The moment he said he was staying (before the storm) I was worried for him. Glad to see he's weathered the storm (pun intended). That black sand looks real good. Hope he does well in it.

    Wow Bryan, just WOW! the drive and focus in Roger is something that guys with man buns and a freshly trimmed beard are lacking. He is a true gentleman. Paula, if you read this, you have a diamond in the rough. He's now known by many, let's hope we can rebuild the dream...
    Next pension, I'll throw something in the tip jar again to help 👍👍👍

    That's just crazy !
    I lived down in Juneau and Hoonah for 8 years ( 2002-2009 )and found fine gold everywhere I looked but was too busy working for a living to go after it properly ... GPAA was still operating out at cripple river ... I am a life member
    Always thought I'd make it up to Nome for a summer ...
    My wife and I had to come back down to take care of my Mother-in-law , ( she just passed a couple months ago ) I am retiring next Jan.
    I still hope to make it up to Nome in the next coupla years ... Problem is , I have found alotta fine gold down here in Eastern Wa./Western Id. and I'd be leaving gold to mine gold (?) ... I have figured out fine gold recovery and found many rich bench placers to work . So ... But , the Nome dream lives on
    I'd like to buy Roger a drink
