October Update












the picture above should be titled: "bearbait"













I made it down a long section of the river before multiple snowstorms drove me to Fairbanks, a hitchhiking odyssey back to the Yukon to get my truck... And I have a million ideas racing through my mind as this project snowballs into much more than the vision outlined below. I need all the support and all the partners I can get though!: so if you are interested at all or have any ideas whatsoever please contact me via email. The more minds that work on this the better! Lots of great film/ still photos from the first part of the journey, literally traveled through the falling leaves into the falling snowflakes.


Made some great connections with some awesome teachers, tribal leaders and young people in the communities along the river, and made some new friends in Fairbanks and Whitehorse as well -- thank you all so much for your generosity and goodwill! The list of names is too long to thank everyone but you know who you are if you are reading this... The professional website is still in the works: be patient for a few months and you will be rewarded!















The current plan is to finish out the trip this spring (feb-march) via snowshoes / skiis... and I am hoping to participate in the Yukon River Quest canoe /kayak race with a friend this coming summer.... also busy working on some other very interesting initiatives that align with this project... more later, thanks again for the patience!
