Visits
- 2014-07-16: We had a three night visit in Nome, and it was very discouraging when we arrived to rain and fog. We walked around near our hotel and all around town in the rain. After the first bout of about 8 hours of rain, the weather cleared up a bit for the rest of the trip. The locals were all very friendly here.
