Yukon River Trip Tries Canadian Ketchup Chips
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.

A 36-Hour Driving Binge
Because the trailer slowed us down more than expected, Jake & I felt we had to once again push through and sacrifice another night of sleep. We drove 1,383 miles from Glasgow, MT to Fort Nelson, British Columbia before crashing at the Bluebell Inn to sleep and shower. It was obvious that we were much farther north due to the midnight sky.
12:30 a.m. in Fort Nelson, British Columbia
Total Trip Miles: 2820
Driving Time: 56 hours and 29 minutes
Maximum Speed: 75.4 mph
Average Speed: 49.9 mph
Dinner Time in the Canadian Rockies
Jake & I were pumped when we spotted this grizzly eating by the side of the road. He took notice of us but continued to eat at first. He then became a bit protective of his food before deciding to take off into the treeline with a morsel.
I could hear the bones crunching & the flesh tearing while taking this shot.
