Platinum adventures
Platinum is a small village with an amazing history of helping Alaska growing in many different ways. It has a platinum mine of course about ten miles away from the village. Gravel is always being shipped back and forth from the mountains to the edge of town which is probably five or ten mile trips back and forth from seven to seven. There are two stores with enough food to keep your thirst quenched and tummy’s fed. We hiked the closest, but highest mountain, Red Mountain with the hight just under two thousand feet. Kayaked around the village from the bay and came around from the ocean and back on to the beach which was about six or seven miles and about a four hour trip but all was worth it. The tour of the mine was great because we learned that their once one of the largest cranes of its time and got to walk around in it. We also got to see every building the same way it was almost seventy years ago with the exception of remodeling and new or improved vehicles to mine the operations every summer. After all the days work is done we get to cook or dinner is served by Carol which is amazing cook and always have something new compared to our usual foods we eat at home(casa food)…well anyways were about to head out to take a steam so i’ll keep updating the blogs sooner or later
