We live in what are called the Nome-Beltz apartments on the north side of Nome-Beltz Junior/Senior High School. Morgan here is enjoying one of the rather warm days from back in late August. The really interesting thing about this area is that there is not a lot of actual pavement. Most of Nome-Teller Highway is paved from the high school to town (about 3.5 miles). There are several paved roads in town. There is no huge chunk of asphalt around the school. It is just dirt ground. It gets kind of muddy during the rain. Snow just packs down. My neighbor buys the extreme radials for his car, tires that places in Anchorage won't even put on normal vehicles. You need them for driving over some of the rocks and the nails that are still in the ground from gold mining days and the new construction that is going around the high school for the new gym and cafeteria. The school bond just passed so they are going to renovate the junior high area, causing even more construction.
