Chuathbaluk, Portage Trail, Holy Cross, Anvik
I had a problem with Apple blog site, so I switch to Blogger...
Thanks Marion and Jane for nice comfortable stay!
First things this morning, Marion show us the trail head for Portage.
Then we went Chuathbaluk roundtrip (12miles upstream) to fix frost tube and meeting with Linda! She is one of the great science teachers in Alaska. It nice to discuss many things.
Then we back to Aniak (11:40am already!!).
We reached Yukon River! Deep blue sky, crusted snow, great weather! It was best weather so far in this trip. I feel still energy to drill even running longer than yesterday’s distance. We successfully made cross Kuskokwim to Yukon watershed, called Portage trail. It was not bad at all, takes about 2 hours to cross beautiful country from Kuskokwim to Yukon.
Once we hit Yukon River bed, we were flying like kite or surfing on the powder snow to Holy Cross. Then We quick set frost tube to ready other surfing for Anvik.
