The Tutshi and Takhanne

This summer we spent a few weeks in Alaska for some paddling opportunities. We paddled 3 different rivers in the first few days. After arriving in in Juneau and flew to Skagway where we entered Canada to paddle the Tutshi. We then traveled to Haines and drove into Canada again to paddle the Blanchard and Takhanne.


Useful GPS coordinates:.
  • Tutshi Put-In" N59° 44.399' W134° 58.379'
  • Tutshi Put-Out" N59° 47.844' W134° 54.646'
The book "Paddling in the Yukon: A Guide to Rivers" by Ken Madsen is also useful resource if you can find a copy.

Maine Trip 2014

We recently completed the annual trip to Maine. It was a great trip this year! We drove up on Friday and arrived just before dark. On Saturday we did 2 glorious laps on the Kennebec at 4800CFS and 2400CFS. Andy and Wendy joined us again on Saturday night. On Sunday we finally got on the Dead at a nice burly 5200CFS. On Monday we drove home. It was a great way to spend the long weekend!


See the Maine Trip post for last years more detailed report.
