Our Welcome to Nome included some very exciting exploration. We arrived at the peak of the blueberry season where, throughout the seemingly endless tundra, these beauties grow all around.
Unlike the bushes I've picked from back in PA, these bushes grow low to the ground and Everywhere.
 We were given the smart advice that anytime something is growing in Nome, you harvest and freeze enough to last through the winter. We've got a long way to go...

    Yum! Do they taste the same as blueberries on the east coast?

    They are actually a little tarter, but have a stronger flavor. The blueberries here are also really small compared to the ones we always got at the grocery store. They're really good! I think I might make a blueberry pie or something along those lines...
