Hey folks, another paddle event that I wanted to mention.
The Yukon River Quest happens later this month on June 29 – July 3. It
is called the longest endurance marathon canoe and kayak race in the world, and it certainly takes place in a
region where such a thing is possible. The race begins in legendary downtown Whitehorse (saddle up at the bar and have
a shot of whisky gold-miner style) and then paddle to Dawson, a trip that will take three to five
days. That, my friends, is a fair amount of paddling. If you’re interested in Quests of year’s past, check out the
gallery. It gives a nice flavor of what to expect.
