Harvest at Pilgrim Hot Springs
The snowcapped Kigluaik mountains towered over the still lush green grass and golden leaves clinging to cottonwood trees as a small group of three caretakers began their joyous task of harvesting the first test crops at Pilgrim Hot Springs last Friday.
Shovel and pitchfork in hand and a giddy look on their faces, Bering Strait Development Corporation employees Dan Martinson and Tasha Lee, and Kawerak’s Ahnama Shannon went about to dig out potatoes after having harvested onions, carrots and radishes.
