Being Prepared is Golden

Lately I have seen a lot of movies that have the word "Yukon" somewhere in the title. They are mostly John Wayne movies and other old western movies. So I decided to Look up and read about the Yukon Territory. The Yukon Territory is located in Western Canada which borders Alaska. It is the westernmost and smallest of the 3 western federal territories in Canada. It is where the "Gold Rush" was in 1897-1899.The Gold Rush lasted barely 2 years. It was very short lived. It was known as the Klondike Gold Rush and the Alaskan Gold Rush. Some people called it the Alaskan Gold Rush because It was owned by the Alaskan Peninsula and some of the gold miners docked in the Alaskan ports.It was one of the last great gold rushes. Most people spent more on personal expenses and getting there than what they earned mining the gold.

The California gold rush was started back in the year 1949. It was another great gold rush. People were crazy back then with gold fever. They would do just about anything to get there hands on some gold! The Yukon territory was named after the Yukon River that runs through it. There are several glacier fed lakes that empty into the Yukon river. Besides mining gold they also mind silver, zinc, copper, and other precious metals there in the Yukon. Precious metals are wonderful to have but I believe there is going to come a day when we will barter with food and water and other import commodities. There were several movies and books written about the Yukon Gold Rush. "The Call of The Wild" written By Jack London was one of them. The winters last very long there with sub artic and artic weather there. The summers are short but the days have long hours of sunshine so a lot of plants, vegetables, and fruit grow there. Its very interesting to learn and read about the famous Yukon Gold Rush and other gold rushes as well.

I only hope in these latter days when things get rough we don't get crazy with "Food  Fever" like they did with gold fever. I hope we can all be a prepared people and come together with love, patience and unity.

It is important to have our 2 year food and water supply. We should also be storing medical supplies and devices to provide heat and light etc. etc. It has been said "If we are prepared we shall not have to fear!" So as I go to sleep tonight and ponder these things I will have a restful sleep and not be fearful because I am pretty well prepared as I hope you all are too! 'Til next time......Beverly
