Yukon Wild

In thw summer of 1981, Beth Johnson decided she wanted to paddle the Yukon, 2,000 mile river which spans the continent of Alaska. A year later she, three other women and three canoes began a trek down the fifth longest river in North America. This book is the story of their year-long preparations and a day-by-day account of their journey through the Alaskan wilderness. Along with being an exciting adventure tale, it should make a terrific primer for anyone wanting to meet their next challenge in the great outdoors.
