The drill rig, support equipment, and many supplies were shipped
from Nenana
Alaska Up the Tanana River to the Yukon River. The barge trip up
river took nearly two weeks.
|
The trip up river was slowed often by the flow of the river
itself. Many days the current would be much stronger than others
with runoff and progress would be slowed accordingly.

The Core that we obtained with the project was flown out on a
chartered DC-3. The Village of Fort Yukon is 8 miles north of the
Arctic Circle and is only accessible by plane or boat.
|
When the drilling was done all the core recovered was boxed and
shipped back to Denver for research. These boxes were the
culmination of several years of planning and implementation.

The place we
stayed was a Long range Radar Facility in Fort Yukon. The facility
was very well equipped and modern by most standards. |
The Indian village was called Fort
Yukon. It is a mostly Athabaskin Indian population. The living
conditions were reminiscent of the old west. Very nice little town
in rural Alaska. |
