"Cannot open
up emails using www.tomsimmat.com.au/webmail
for some reason, any how not from Frank's computor.
Anyhow,
hope you got yesterdays email.
I also sent
out a spot signal.
Had a
paddle yesterday down to Raymond's Landing. All the rivers are very very high.
The Tekhini where we put in at Franks last time is about 2 meters higher
so you can even get down that track that led to the water.
This means
we will have a very fast race.
Did food
shopping and I am getting the gear organized.
Things seem
expensive in Canadian Tyre. Cheapest tent over $200. 10 times what I paid in
Australia.
Mosquitoes
are unbelievable, so walks are difficult.
Had Franks pancakes this morning.
I will try
and log on to emails in town this afternoon.
Go to
Skagway tomorrow to pick up Urs. About a 3 hour drive. I will take my time and
take lots of Photos.
Love Tom"
As well as caring for sled dogs. Muktuk has cabins and bed and breakfast accommodation with 3 meals a day included. Ideal place to prepare for the race. Plenty of space and interested helpers with tools.
Arnie had booked accommodation in a hotel in town from 24th June when Urs and Arnie arrive, but Tom is taking the opportunity to stay with Frank at Muktuk until he collects them from Skagway.
There is kayak access to the Tekhini River from Muktuk which flows into the Yukon.
