Ora Stewart the Yukon river swim

I just had a wonderful conversation with Mrs. Ora Stewart of Anchorage
Ak. She had a wonderfull story to tell me about a trip her and Her
husband took down the Yukon river in 64. They put in in Eagle and
pulled out in Circle. She said it was written up in a british paper.
Anyone out there have a copy? I will be going to see her car when I get
home in a few weeks I'll bring the digital camera and send out some
pics. I'm still hunting for that lost Alaskan Amphi hidden in a barn in
Telkeetna or some such place... You know the one. The 500 mile job for
50 bucks.

Somewhere amongst my Amphi literature I have that story, there were 2 cars,
one red and one white, that traveled down the river, camping overnight on
beaches, a sort of dave the wave adventure !

How far did you say that river trip was, I believe you may have said
something in an earlier post.

Re: Re: Ora Stewart the Yukon river swim

I was looking at a map earlyer to day, not a very detailed one but it
looked liked 125 to 150 as the crow flyes. My guess would be close to
200 with all the twists and turns. Ora told me they would have gone
alot further but gas was scarse in 64. These days I don't think gas
would be such a problem. Heck if you had a chase boat you could go all
the way to the Dalton Hwy bridge. Not sure how far that would be maybe
I will look into it.
