I agree. Alaska in that time period was kind of the modern day wild west of the time period.
A scuba dive club locally when I was 13 and first learning to dive had a character that was in the club but spent most of his time in Alaska mining gold diving in rivers sucking up material and running it through a sluice. He would come back once or twice a year and regale us with stories. Scooter Anderson was his name. Would have been around 1967-8.

You're right about Alaska at that time - it really was "the modern day wild west." I was in the SF Bay area in 1967-68. Interesting place. That's why I picked that area when I graduated. I drove up in 69.
Thanks to all of you who posted responses. I appreciate them. It's fun thinking about those days again. I'll take a break and try to post a few more after awhile. I guess, whoever is not interested just doesn't have to open the link.
Thanks again. |
