KOTZEBUE Anyone?
Hello --
I got a cheap AA award for a week in early September to Kotzebue (OTZ). I wanted to head as North as I could (Barrow was not possible) but also take in local culture, get away from big city life, personal stress and most importantly take in nature. I want to see Kobuk Valley and possibly Gates of Artic.
The travel is tough: SFO-PDX-SEA-ANC-NOME-KOTZEBUE (OTZ)
Does anyone have any tips, ideas, recommendations? Lookiing for everything from where to stay to what to do. My reading/understanding is the 90% Eskimo population is not super open to outsiders -- so, I dont think it will be like my Southeast experiences; yet, I am excited for this adventure and just want some tips if anyone has visted.
THANKS SO MUCH! --- Chris
