And I was holding my breath while you were going through the rough water. I don’t think I took a breath until you made it. I felt like I was right there paddling with you. Loved the documentation at your stops. What a treasure this video is. Thank you for sharing with everyone.

Altitude - vs - Latitude. This is your absolute best. The blend of adventure, running the Yukon by canoe entertwined with bringing history alive, then finishing off with the Robert Service "Cremation of Sam Magee"...Masterful work. It brings back memories of my youth spent wandering and exploring abandoned mining towns in the Colorado Rockies. Here the landscape is breathtaking. It is just damn vertical. The landscape is defined by the incredible Rockies. The lower Montane forests change into sub-alpine, then alpine. Then around timberline, similar boreal forests givie way to alpine tundra.There are still some mining roads, abandoned towns, mining structures and heaped mine tailings, broken down machinery. All are slowly being reclaimed by nature. Or they are demolished and turned into ski resorts, leaving token samples of this incredibly rich history. Thank you both for stirring up these ol' memories.

They took my wife and four children and two sled dogs, myself😅 on a wonderful summer adventure, trapped out of Rampart till Christmas, earned enough money to charter a plane ride back to our cabin in Chicken Ak. Got back to the cabin on New Year day and started a fire, took about three days for the cabin to really warm up. Sent 15 years up the mosquito fork of the forty- mile ended up having 12 kids, half of them born in the bush. Good travels my friends
