There were ham radio operators, race officials, etc. The cabin of Dan and Jean was very well stocked for food so that was not a concern. The five children are home schooled and help run their home, which is open to visitors year round. Since they are right on the Yentna River, they sell snowmachine gas and have visitors at all hours of the night and day, wanting to buy gas. Write about how your life would be different if you lived in a remote cabin in Alaska as a child.
Outdoor activities are huge for the kids in the cabin.
We rode out in small planes with two or three seats in addition to the pilot. All of the visitors at Yentna were able to get out later in the morning by making three different plane trips out. Dan and Jean were awesome hosts and they were prepared to keep us for as long as possible.
