Into Alaska - We Lost Our Canoe on a Remote River | 10 Days Family Camping in Alaskan & BC Wild -E.8
I woke up on the morning of day 1 to find out canoe gone. The night before we’d dealt with a once in a lifetime windstorm and it was all we could to secure our tent down in the gale force wind. Our canoe was pulled well up on the beach and tied off to a log that was embedded in the sad but the wind was so strong it blew the loop of the rope off of the end of the log and continued blowing the canoe all the way into a tributary creek that carried the canoe into the Stikine River.
I went to find it and was lucky to have had some help from a local in a power boat.
With a significant chunk of time out of our day, we finally got onto the river. Soon, we spotted several goats up along a steep cliff that rose out of the river and we got a great look at them with our binoculars as we took our time drifting past.
After a few miles we decided to make camp a little earlier and pulled over at a nice spot that looked like it had been used as a salmon netting spot by local Tahltan indigenous people. I set up a sturdy tarp rig and cut some wood to make a fire. Soon we got food going and enjoyed a nice meal, using a make shift table that had been built into one of the trees.
