Forging a destined dream of paddling 460 miles of the Yukon River, my husband Jake and I constructed the Sundowner with old pontoons and mostly used lumber as a testimony of our devotion to pursue this rugged adventure. In 2011, fate finally sent us venturing north over 3,000 miles into Canada’s Yukon Territory where the Sundowner enabled us to navigate the river, fish, pan for gold, photograph magnificent landscapes & wildlife, write, and play in The Land of the Midnight Sun.

The Sundowner's Maiden Voyage
Though our boat has floated in the
pond behind our house a couple of times, we consider today to be our
maiden voyage of our Yukon River Trip boat--The Sundowner. We are with Justin & Alli Shurr from Shurr Adventures (& our Gretel, too!) on Lake Monroe down in Southern Indiana in Hoosier National Forest.

The YRT Boat Makes Its Debut on the Interstate!
1st time on the Interstate with the boat: we're heading down to Lake Monroe to see how she does on an overnight trip. The drive to & from Canada may prove to be a bigger adventure than the river itself!!

Once again, our neighbor Carl lent a hand with prepping our boat. The doors are hung; now we just need to paint!
