A canoe trip down the Yukon River - Brain storming.

[*Touring Ted*]

I've got my mind set on taking a Canadian canoe some 1500-2000 miles down the Yukon River. Probably starting in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and finishing on the west coast of Alaska at the bearing straights.

I'm after any information and possible interest in joining/help planning this trip for 2013.

I know it's not a bike/4x4 so that's why I'm posting in the bar.

Well, I'm thinking of about two months for this trip in a group of between 3-4 people (One canoe) or 4-8 people (two canoes).

It would be all about wild camping, fishing, light hunting, bush craft and obviously strenuous hard work. I think it would be a brilliant trip.

I've got VERY little experience in a Canoe but from my research, it's a nice river to travel (technically) as the only rapids are just grade two's which are pretty much nothing at all. (I've rafted over grade fives before).

Anyway.. Feel free to post on this thread with any relevant information or interest in getting involved.
