Yukon River Trip

Terry and our son Raymond, drove the truck with the slide-in camper and towed a trailer with two aluminum boats to Circle, Alaska. Using lots of fuel in the two motors, they traveled southeast on the Yukon River to Eagle, Alaska. The town in the picture is Eagle. The return trip to Circle was easier because the current flows northwest to the Beaufort Sea. Along the way they saw three moose, a black bear and a mountain sheep in the far off distance. Terry liked the strange rock formations on the banks of the Yukon. Only one night was spent in tents. I thought that Terry would be terribly tired but they spent more time in cabins, waiting for the rain to quit, than they did on the Yukon River. Some of these cabins are used by the mushers on the Yukon Quest when they make their dog team trips in the winter race from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
