There are many things one can say about the Yukon, many said better by Robert Service than I ever could. But one thing remains true some 25 years after my first canoe trip there: Germans fucking *love* the Yukon.

Places I pooped not simply a hole (but I also pooped in a couple of holes):

The fancy lake vault potty:

The Thelm and Louise hold hands whilst pooping outhouse:

The sourdough hermit thing:

On the way back from the Yukon. This is my third trip. Went in 2019 as a dumb college kid. It was June, the water was high, I had no technical gear, it rained 80% of the time, battled white caps across Lake Laberge, the mosquitoes were insane, and most nights the tent was frozen stiff by morning. Obviously I loved it. Went back in 2002 with my father, to do 13 days down the Big Salmon from Quiet Lake down to Dawson. Took my son from Whitehorse to Carmacks; with a buddy and his son.

Weather was amazing. High 40s or low 50s in the morning, to mid 70s. Almost no mosquitoes. Barely got the ponchos out, and it never rained overnight long enough to have to dry things out.Tailwind across the lake, mostly. 

Will probably do it again, either the Teslin or Pelly. 

Wait. What year was the first trip?
