| Traveling back to Galena we underestimated our
ability to find a way around this obstacle. This was a very steep bank
down to the Koyukuk river which we had no problem going down. We never
looked back, that is until we headed for home. The only choice we had was
to drive the sno-goes up then hoist our sleds up with a rope. Kent's snow
machine was the widest of all and presented him with a rather interesting
challenge. How to thread a 42 inch wide ski stance through a 41 inch wide
gap in the bank. This is, quit possible, the definition of scupper! |
