Denali, Kenai, og Chilkoot Pass/Sitka
Etter eit par dagar med uvant mykje hjernearbeid, og ca. nok timer paa pc til aa lage eit normalt gjennomsnitt for sommeren, saa har vi rett og slett kjoept oss ein gammal Subaru.
Fikk god pris, selger igjen foer vi drar, saa faar vi omtrent same pris igjen er det i grunn super deal.
Den skal ta oss ned til Denali National Park i dag, og der skal vi boltre oss i tundra, taiga, fjell, haustfargar, og frisk luft igjen! DIGG!!
Saa blir det videre ned mot Anchorage for aa besoeke Don og Harald – to trivelige, gamle hippier som vi traff i Ft. Yukon. Dei har lokka oss effektivt med fiske, og padletur paa Kenai River(lakse&bamsegaranti, visstnok) – gleder oss!:)
Etter det kjoerer vi forhaapentligvis den gamle sliteren over til Skagway, og derfra blir det enten besoek hos brodern i Sitka og ymse greier der - flott natur -, eller vandring over Chilkoot Pass.
Mao – eit par fullpakka veker med GOEY:D
Saa farvel Fairbanks, pc-laben paa Universitetet har vaert snill med oss og vi takkar for det.
J&J&B
I gaar satt dei og venta i timesvis sammen med oss paa biler som skulle komma opp hit saa vi kunne kikka paa dei (Alfred er mekaniker og Ken er bilselger - jada, griseflaks:), og saa insisterte dei saerdeles heftig paa aa spandere middag paa oss etterpaa. Og er bare oppriktig glade for aa tilbringa litt tid i lag. Veldig roerande:)

vipadlerganskesaalangt.com
Vi ankom Yukon Crossing/Dalton Highway bridge i forigaars kveld/natt, etter ca. ei veke paa elva etter Fort Yukon.
Har hatt det fantastisk paa elva men den siste etappen sementerte det vi i grunn begynte aa faa ein magefoelelse paa: for aa komme oss til havet maatte vi hatt havkajakker videre, evt. eit par veker lengre tid.
Vi var vaerfaste ein dag i Ft. Yukon pga. vind ("If you guys head out today, we'll be so worried back here we'll have to race after you in our boats and check on you" var beskjeden fraa dei lokale...hehe, soete folk!), og ytterligere to dager paa elva.
Eine dagen padla vi om natta daa det som regel stilner daa, men i og med at teltet blir usnorkbar sauna om dagen var ikkje det noko langvarig opplegg.
Har vist seg vanskelig - og tidvis litt skummelt, viktig aa ha baugen mot boelgene! - aa padle mot vinden naar elva er stor (gjennomsnittsstr. mellom elvebreddene fra Yukon Crossing og til havet er ca. 1,6 km, men kan bli opptil det dobbelte/triple paa visse steder) og minner mest om fjorden heime paa ein ruskedag.
Kombien av stroem nedover, og vind oppover, mekker ogsaa overraskande store boelger ift. vindstyrke.
Ergo - vi brukte ca. 5 veker paa litt over den foerste, snille halvdelen, og ville nok trengt i alle fall tilsvarande for aa komme oss til havet. Og vi har ca. 3 veker igjen...:)
Saa vi er usedvanlig realistiske, og bruker heller dei tre siste vekene paa aa sjaa litt meir av alt det fine mangfoldet Alaska har aa by paa.
Saa no har vi ein planleggingsdag i Fairbanks.
(Dette etter aa ha faatt haik med ein "tourbus", compliments of Alan - tidenes kulaste pensjonistbussjaafoer med eit uendelig repertoar av kneggehistoriar paa turen ned. Northern Alaska Tour Company anbefalast paa det varmaste!)
Vi vurderer ein rekke alternativ: Denali, Kenai, Sitka, Chilkoot Pass, osv…er ingen mangel paa naturjuvelar, men det avgjerande for aa faa kabalen til aa gaa opp er transportmiddel. Mykje villmark=lite infrastruktur, men det er vel i grunn ein grei pris og betale.
Ein faar saa annerledes tidsperspektiv her ute - 18 dager til virker vemodig lite!:)
Kort oppsummert fra elva: vi har hatt det som to bustete,myggspiste, mystisk luktande og solbrune(brente) plommer i egget.
Det er ein slags ro naar ein er midt ute i naturen over ein lengre periode som er vanskelig aa overfoere til papiret med ord - ein sum av lukter, lyder, fravaeret av lyder, synsinntrykk, og alle tankene som bare faar summe i fred oppe i hodet, og ikkje minst det at det er bare dette som er livet ditt - ingen avtaler, ingen forpliktelser, ingenting anna enn deg og verden rundt deg - som roerer ved ein vanligvis urban sjel. Ein faar ein lugnhet og eit perspektiv paa kva ting som virkelig har verdi her i livet, som ein forhaapentligvis klarer aa holde fast paa midt i mellom alt hastverket og trafikken som venter paa aa fylle hodet naar vi kjem tilbake.
(Eg leste ein liten snutt ein plass om korleis vi menneske blir desensitiverte for verden rundt oss som ein rein adaptasjon til det aa leve med saa mykje stoey, og det var i grunn eit artig poeng. Klart det, sjaa for deg ein hoeglydt flyplass fks. - med mobiltlf., barneskraal, traller, osvosb. - hjernen maa paa ein maate bli litt nummen for ikkje aa bli aldeles overfylt.
Mao - viktig aa hoeyre paa foglesangen;))
Vi har ogsaa moett saa mange fine mennesker baade der vi har stoppa, og paa elva. Og det vi leste om at indianerne i smaalandsbyene langs ved elva var noken alkoholiserte skurker var bare godt gammaldags sludder og poelsevev!
Det er bare aa smile og vaere imoetekommande sjoelv, saa er dei noken av dei mest rause og blide folkene eg har truffe paa, sjoelv om det unektelig er ein rimelig fri flyt av alkohol rundtomkring. Eg skjoenner godt at dei blei lurt trill rundt av kvitemann whisky som kom nedover elva foer oss...:)
Saa det var med ein liten klump i halsen at vi pakka sammen kanoen og satte snuta soerover - vi har allerede lagt planer om aa fullfoere distansen ein gang vi har meir tid, og tidligere paa aaret (August er visst kjent for daarlig vaer nedover elva blant dei lokale. Naar det blaaste saa faelt i Ft. Yukon saa kommenterte Snook - ein utrulig artig kar som lot oss campe paa eiendommen hans - at det var ein blaasete periode no. "Oh yeah", svarte eg,"how long do you reccon it will last?" "Usually 'till about October" var svaret).
So long Great River, seier vi derfor, we'll be back!
Men naar alt det er sagt, saa gleder vi oss veldig til resten av turen, til aa faa tatt fleire fine bilder til Bergans, og til aa komme tilbake til alle vi er glad i heime. Vi har kost oss i kverandre sitt selskap, men det blir gildt aa klemme paa andre kjente og kjaere kropper ogsaa!
Mange helsingar fraa oss som har padla ganske saa langt:)
NB: Skal laste opp nokre bilder om vi faar tid i morgon!

VM finale i Dawson
Kos dere med kamp der hjemme! :)
Friday, July 9, 2010
Dawson City - gullgravernes hovedstad
Daa har vi komt til Dawson City! Dei siste dagene paa elva har vaert fantastiske, med masse sol og nydelig landskap. For dei som har sett "White Fang" - Ulvehunden, saa er eg ganske sikker paa at vi har seilt gjennom akkurat det samme landskapet som dei gjer paa veg til Dawson. Nydelige panoramabilde, med ein aukande foelelse av det aa virkelig vera ute i villmarka.
Heldige har vi vert paa dyrefronten ogsaa - vi har endelig sett bamse! Saag ein liten bjoerneunge, type svartbjoern, i ein skraaning ca. 40 meter unna mens vi floeyt stille og langsomt forbi. Bamsemor var ingen sted aa sjaa, snodig i grunn, men var alikevel greitt og ha eit stykke djup elv mellom oss:) Ellers har vi sett masse elg, og ikkje minst elgspor, og bever. Brakarn e meget begeistra for sistnevnte, tippe han ser ein mulighet for litt krydder i ein ellers ganske monoton toerrfordiett.
Dagsetappane i det siste har ligget paa ca. 8 mil om dagen, med historiske 17 mil i gaar/forigaars. Det var rett og slett saa nydelig ute, og saa fristande aa padle heile vegen til Dawson og ha litt meir tid her, at vi padla oss gjennom natto. Veldig fin opplevelse - maa jo nesten gjoerast ogsaa naar ein er i midnattssol-land:)
Saa no er vi altsaa i Dawson, gode gamle gull-rush hovedstaden i Nord-Amerika. Er mykje historie her, baade om overveldande rikdom og nederlag. For kver person som virkelig "struck it big" var det ein horde med folk som mista alt dei hadde i gullfeberen. Mange soekte soerover igjen saa snart dei hadde gullet i lomma (eller fravaeret av saadan), men mange blei igjen, gripne av stemniga her oppe. Og ein kan godt forstaa begge i grunn - det er eit hardt land med vintertemperaturer lett ned mot minus 50 celcius, men samtidig eit vakkert og fritt eit.
Uansett - historie kunne ein skrivd nok ei bok om, men det holder vel aa sei at det er masse knask aa laere om her:)
Vi har altsaa vaert her siden i gaar tidlig, i dag skal vi kose oss, fikse litt praktisk, drikke oel og bomme paa dartskiva, og i morgon gaar turen til Tombstone Mountains! Flott fjellomraade ca. 100 km herifra, som det i utgangspunktet ville vaert vanskelig for oss aa komme oss til, men vi traff eit kanadisk ektepar som var saa hyggelige aa invitera oss med. Den slags seier ein ikkje nei takk til, saa daa blir det ein dag til i gullgravarland. Gleder oss, og haaper aa faa tatt noken fine fjellbilder!
Etter dette blir det avgaarde igjen - neste stopp Eagle, Alaska. Ca. ei veke dit, kanskje litt meir, vi faar sjaa.
Ha det fint saa lenge:)
Livet på elva
Vi staar opp rundt klokken ni hvaer dag, og er på elva rundt klokken elleve. Da er det varmt og fint i lufta. Vi spiser frokost foer dette, det har blitt mye "outmeal" altså en form for havregrot, men vi handler broed og pålegg når vi har mulighet til dette. Vi padler i omtrent fire timer foer vi tar lunch. Den har stort sett bestått av nudler, med noe variasjon inni mellom. Vi holder lunsjen under en time, og proever å rusle rundt en del og få brukt beina godt når vi er i land. Etter lunsj padler vi i fire timer til foer vi slår opp leir og lager middag. Dette måltidet har vi variert mye på, men det blir hermetikk eller frysetoerket mat. Det går greit å ha en litt kjip lunsj og frokost så lenge det er litt troekk i middagen.
Yukon river er veldig gjoermete og skitten, så vi henter vann i sideelver. Alt vann vi bruker er vi noedt til å filtrere eller koke da vi ikke vil ligge med beaver feaver.
Vi har sovet alle nettene i telt, og ryggen begynner å bli vant med det harde underlaget. Det skal sies at senga hjemme savnes!
Alt vi gjoer må gjores med baktanke om at det kan vaere bjorn i naerheten. Alt som lukter må skje 60 meter fra teltet der vi sover. Vi nyter ikke så mye som en rosin i teltet. Alt som lukter oppbevares også et stykke unna. Litt kjedelige å drasse rundt på ting i alle retninger men det er rutinene som redder deg. Vi er armert med slugs og bearspray (pepperspray på storrelse med en halvlitersflaske).
Ellers er vi i seng rundt elleve hver dag. Etter dette går sola ned og vi minnes raskt på hvor langt nord vi er. Nattetemperaturen er lav her selv om vi har hatt mange varme soldager.
Vi skravler om alt mellom himmelog jord og loeser de fleste verdensproblemer på ferden. Vi treffer folk på elva inni mellom og det hender vi deler leirplass med andre.
Dette ble i hvert fall et raskt innblikk i hvordan ting er! :)

Carmacks
Har tilbakelagt ca. 34 mil av Yukonelva, med masse fine naturopplevelser! 30 mile river, en seksjon nedenfor Lake Laberge, maa vera noke av det finaste ein kan oppleva i solskinnet. Saag til og med mammaelg med to kalver 60 meter fra kanoen, stod bare og kikka paa oss som ein liten kuriositet som flaut forbi. Fint!

Hello Whitehorse!:)
Hei dere!:)
Etter en noe strabasioes tur med en del komplikasjoner har vi endelig ankommet Whitehorse og hatt litt av den gode gamle flaksen igjen.
Alle hotell var fullbooket, saa eieren av Air North (og pilot), og den snille konen hans adopterte oss like greitt paa flyplassen og ga oss husrom, yukon-oel og hyggelig selskap.
Har det flott her, kan til og med klatre paa taket, skal ned i byen og handle naa.
Avgang enten i dag eller i morgen.
Brakar klarte seg nydelig paa flyet, flott bisk!
Glad i dere,
Klem fra oss alle mann
NB: Telefonene vaare funker ikke her. Neste post blir sannsynligvis i Dawson City, ca. 10 dager til om elva vil.

Kanoen er prøvepadlet!

Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Et svært hyggelig møte med Bergans
Bergans har virkelig levert over all forventning, og vi gleder oss som unger til å prøvepadle skuta i morgen.
Tusen takk Bergans, for at dere valgte å gå så helhjertet inn i prosjektet vårt!

Nå er det åtte dager igjen til avreise
Vi har også avtalt et møte med Bergans i neste uke for å diskutere samarbeidet. Utrolig bra at de ville sponse oss med utstyr. Takk Bergans! Vi satser på å få tatt en padletur i neste uke for å kontrollere at kanoen holder oss oppe og vannet nede. Blir spennende å se hvordan Brakar liker seg i kano også. Han har vært i båt før så det går nok fint.
