Yukon Wild: The Adventures of Four Women Who Paddled 2,000 Miles Through America's Last Frontier
In the summer of 1981, Beth Johnson decided she wanted to paddle the Yukon, a 2,000 mile river which spans the continent of Alaska.  A year later she, three other women and three canoes began a summer trek down the fifth longest river in North America.  This book is the story of their year-long preparations and a day-by-day account of their journey through the Alaskan wilderness.  Along with being an exciting adventure tale, it should make a terrific primer for anyone wanting to meet their next challenge in the great outdoors. --FromThe WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women$
