This is a first for me, and I grew up in a little fishing village not far from these islands. Anyone else of shoreline locales get to do this?
The guy you gotta get with is ShishmarefRef, formerly a regular contributor on this forum, though absent this year. He did games for the schools in the Bering Strait School District which meant flying to all the games outside his community. Google that school district and you'll find it interesting all the places he had to go. His uncle, I think it was, was the famous Herbie Nayukpuk ("The Shishmaref Cannonball"), veteran Iditarod musher from a generation ago.
