yukon

Yesterday we saw the White River, that flows to the Yukon, and the Kluane that flows to the white. Today we stayed by the Yukon that flows 1500 miles to the sea. Paddle wheelers came here; as they came to Fairbanks and to Dawson City. And we've seen the Tanana river flow wild past the Park, and the Susitna flowing to the Cook inlet with its wonderful fishing. We saw the Cook Inlet and The gulf of Alaska and prince William sound.

We stopped short of Kodiak island and bristol bay and Cordova, and now know that we'd like to see Kobuk valley and the western arctic caribou herd.

Today we rested and planned. It was cool and rainy and yesterdays perfect weather seems far away. As does the home stretch which, it seems, won't start before September.
