Скачать или смотреть The Story of Bettles and Big Delta

Bettles is a small, remote community started by a man setting up a trading post for gold prospectors during the Alaska Gold Rush. Since then, Bettles has moved locations and is only accessible by plane or a winter-only road to the Dalton Highway. Bettles is not for the faint of heart. If you are an outdoorsman you might consider canoeing 100 miles from Anaktuvuk Pass to Bettles for the ultimate Alaskan adventure. Bettles is also where Brooks Range Bible Camp started back in 1978 and is still in operation thanks to the efforts of Kingdom Air Corp.



Big Delta started with ambitious homesteaders and has become an economic producer with the Pogo Mine and farms in the area. The community has a Christian communal history with some rumors of cult-like activity, but I'm not certain. The elusiveness of it sparked my curiosity. Big Delta is home to Whitestone Farms and Rita's Roadhouse, a place with a story for the community of Big Delta.
