 First camp after Dawson City

 

At the camp I had a big disagreement with Siggi's wife. She didn't like me from the beginning and took every opportunity to show it!

Excuse me, but I am not your servant. Do not speak to me in that tone Lady ...
That's how it is sometimes with beginners, everything goes well and everything is so easy, of course because someone is watching in the background...

But some people just never get it ....

 

 

From then on, the journey was over for me. I had no more desire to listen to the whims and caprices of the lady...

 After approx. 5 km the journey was over, it became too shallow!

 Loui has a good laugh, because he was the only one who caught a fish...

It was so refreshing to have him on the tour !

 In the evening smoke came up, it was burning again ...

 But the next morning everything was clear again, the rain seems to have extinguished the bush fires!

 Farewell to 40 Mile, we will continue in the direction to Eagle Alaska.

Without Loui I would have stopped the expedition right here in 40 Mile because the rest of the crew did not listen at all to my instructions.

The accident later on confirmed my intuition!

 Continue with:40 Mile- Eagle 

    

Only those who risk going too far, will discover how far they can go!
