Wonderful experience... great history of the people of the area of Fairbanks on the Tenana and Chena Rivers and what they have had to do and continue to do to survive in the environment! Insights regarding aviation, dog sledding, the Iditarod, fishing and food preparation and survival at the Chena Village. Great history of the riverboat captain's family and wildlife sighting of a great bald eagle, frisky caribou and cute mush puppies in training for dog sledding, as well as baby ducklings!
