Preparing for the Yukon Quest: a Rookies’ Guide
Preparing for the Yukon Quest: A Rookies’ guide 1. Overview Expect the Quest to be cold, very cold. Temperatures of minus 50F to minus 60F are not uncommon. On the other hand, it can be as warm as +40F. Be prepared to rely on yourself for long stretches. There are 9 checkpoints – not counting the start and finish. They range from 50 miles to 200 miles between them. The cold and the isolation can be very devastating to mushers. Obviously there is the physical aspect. You can easily freeze your fingers or feet and be out of the game. But consider and take very seriously the mental aspect. Severe cold sucks not only warmth, but energy and good spirits as well. Getting depressed will take you out as surely as frozen fingers will. In the cold, there is more to do and even the smallest of chores become more challenging and will take a longer time to execute. Hydration and caring for yourself and the team becomes critical. You will wear bulkier clothes and more of them, and you must guard against sweating in them. Your level of frustration will rise. The dogs will need to wear coats and in many cases flank and penis sheath protection. They will need to eat more calories and their food will need to be warm. Staying hydrated will be challenging but essential. Even your hand warmers will freeze and become useless unless you warm them first. Alkaline batteries must stay warm to function. Know your gear; how it functions in the cold, the wet, and the wind. -

A Family Float Trip Down the Yukon River by John Morton
Refuge Notebook • Vol. 10, No. 39 • October 17, 2008 A family float trip down the Yukon River by John Morton the Yukon Quest. But it’s equally challenging when young kids are involved and you’re worried about making sure they’re having fun and are SAFE. This is a tall order when they’re inhaling mosquitoes, pad- dling through water as cold as ice with big hydraulics or camping in bear country. Our “wilderness” trip got a rocky start as we passed a sign below Whitehorse that cautioned about treated effluent being discharged into the river. Sev- eral miles below town we ran into a grocery cart stick- ing out of a muddy bar in a bend on the river. As we paddled across the 30-mile long Lake Lebarge, made famous by Robert Service’s poetic celebration of the Cremation of Sam McGee, we saw abundant signs of humans everywhere: tent sites, rusted cans, old cables, and broken glass. But gradually these modern archaeological arti- facts disappear as we get into dining on grayling and wild onions further down the river.

Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks & Recreation
Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks & Recreation Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan 2007 Planning Team: Fairbanks North Star Borough, Department of Parks & Recreation USKH, Inc. FNSB - Department of Parks and Recreation Executive Summary This Master Plan outlines the Fairbanks North Star Borough’s (FNSB’s) plan for the future development and use of the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area, a 750-acre multi-use park south of the City of Fairbanks along the Tanana River. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide the FNSB with a long-term, planning guide for gravel extraction and development of the recreation area based on resource opportunities and constraints, development opportunities and constraints, and public needs. The Master Plan details the planning purpose and process, existing site conditions and land use, resources assessment, public process and demand, development plan, maintenance and operations considerations, and permits and authorizations required for development of the recreation area. The project concept originated approximately 15 years ago by the FNSB and its need to extract gravel for use at the South Cushman Landfill. The unsecured site has historically been a common place for illegal dumping of junk or abandoned vehicles and other refuse, as well as other unauthorized and criminal activities. Passing years have brought to the forefront the desire to clean up the site in order to enhance the wildlife habitat and natural features of the area in conjunction with the FNSB’s plan to extract gravel. As a result, this Master Plan has become a priority driven by both public safety and the importance of establishing this area for the community’s use and enjoyment. -
