Boat trip on the Yukon River

My new boss is a volunteer for the Conversation officer ... so he is making trips on the Yukon river to check who is on the river, if the people have licenses for fishing or hunting, what wildlife is visible etc. ... so he offered me to come with him for 3 nights and 4 days to see the Yukon from a boat ... a wonderful possibility!


Packing the boat for the trip.


A new experience for Bella ... be on a boat together with her new teacher ... Celtik!


One view over the Yukon river.


The first dinner in the bush on our camping trip.


Sunset .... without words.


The landscape changes a lot .... I loved especially the areas with rocks.


The weather is always changing ... sun and beautiful warm and in the next moment cloudy, rain, thunder and lightning and cold.


Fort Selkirk ... in former times a town during the Gold rush ... now the first nation people taking care of it and restore the houses etc..


Bella really enjoied the whole trip ... on the boat and in the bush ... and especially the camping where she could sleep directly beside me and she tried always to get the best spot .... but she hasn't drunk the beer :-)


We weren't lucky with the wildlife but at least we saw a moose.


Everything in the Yukon is pretty hard ... so this was Bellas first swim lesson ... straight through the Yukon behind the boat ... what a great little girl!


Beside the wonderful view we saw a crazy canadian guy ...


... with his canoe, his husky and a self made sail. And he was travelling the Yukon way which means without tent ... just sleeping under the canoe with some blankets.


And there is again some rain coming.



Yes, the landscape is just beautiful.
