With our late start we had to alter our plans to travel together with the Wills down to Denali National Park. They left at our scheduled departure time of ten, so we were seven hours behind them. Since we only had a little over two hours to drive we weren’t Read more…
I’m going to write this account in three sections: 1) Bear’s and my journey; 2) Katrina’s, Jeff’s and Molli’s adventure; and 3) reunification. First: Bear’s and my journey: The first thing that one needs to accomplish leaving Dawson City is to cross the Yukon River on a ferry. We had Read more…
Upon leaving White Horse, I was closing up the full wall slide (FWS) and the whole process stopped when it hit the back of the driver’s chair. Apparently I popped the 150 Amp fuse and the wall wouldn’t come in. With Jeff’s helped we replaced the fuse, cleared the chair Read more…
