In response some mail I’ve had, this is a note for folks from far away who are curious about Haines and the Gold Rush Alaska TV show. An article in last week’s Chilkat Valley News sums up what’s happening with the show, and us. The question is, will the all-American miners raise the maple leaf flag, sing “O Canada” in French and partake of socialized medicine? Looks like Dakota Fred will be back, and of course John Schnabel, who will no doubt be grateful to get back to work without a film crew nearby. Here he is with Chip on, I think, the 4th of July or maybe they are watching the beginning of the fair parade.
