thanks - the Yukon is about the easiest far north trip to do logistics wise, and cost wise as well (once you get there) - kind of why I posted the report, to inspire anyone interested in a far north tirp that hasn't pursued one due to thinking it way out of reach - this one isn't

I was more or less planning on doing this trip again in near future, only starting down the Teslin River to the Yukon.  But I'm more interested in the Wind River to Peel River trip now - more remote and higher cost with a fly in start, but still not outrageous.  There have been articles and pictures in Canoe & Kayak magazine and Canoeroots that were just like "wow" "awesone" - I'm going to do that next.
