Lake Laberge-Carmacks
The Yukon River carries a lot of water this year. Along the river there were many floods. Our engines (20 & 25 hp) are hardly able to cope with the current. A return trip with the catamarans against the current is not possible, we have to change our plan....
Finally we can go on !
Our very first " true" camp at Lake Laberge
A very beautiful bay in which I already set up my camp in 2011 !
From a small elevation you can oversee parts of the lake.
This is great fun....
The navigation system works perfectly !
The Cat steers a bit sluggishly... But we will get used to it
We were very lucky, the lake was at times like a mirror...
It couldn't get better...
In the evening there was a violent thunderstorm in a bay !
But that didn't bother us ...
In spite of sun cream, I get a sunburn again....
Arrived at the end of Lake Laberge, the old truck is still there....
We are very satisfied with the cats !
Lutz provided some fresh fish !
Excellent, Lutz with toilet paper and shovel...lol....
The old Woodcamp is decaying more and more, but what really annoys me is that some stupid Tourists use the remains as firewood, how stupid is that ?
Thats why I always say:
Be a Traveler Not a Tourist !
Arrived in Hootalinqua
Sigi & Lutz have provided fresh fish again !
A bear has marked his territory, we are in the bush...
Since the water is extremely high we had to moor in the bushes, Lutz fell into the water and almost got under the catamaran...
We continue to Big Salmon
In one of the cabins some river travellers had their drink... lol...
Arrived at Cyr's Dredge
My new Garmin GPS with the touchscreen is really awesome !
I had thought the touch screen was a gimmick, but I quickly noticed that the handling is so much faster !
The Steca solar charger is really in a class of its own! With it I am always informed about the condition of my solar system !
At Little Salmon we visited the First Nation cemetery there.
Eagle Nest's Bluff
I always wanted to climb up there, but never did...
Our last camp before Carmacks
That night there was a violent thunderstorm !
Continue with: Carmacks - Fort Selkirk
Only those who risk going too far, will discover how far they can go!
