context_page_description: Walter Muma is a Canadian man who is on record for completing a 3-month 11,500-mile journey across Canada and Alaska by moped. The journey took place during the summer of 1978, began in Toronto, passed through Yukon and Alaska, continued up the Dempster Highway to Inuvik, Northwest Territories, and finally back to Toronto.
context_section_description: Muma spent some time wandering on side roads throughout the Yukon and Alaska. From Watson Lake, he headed North up the Robert Campbell Highway. A side trip included up the Nahanni Range Road and back. Continuing on the Robert Campbell Highway, he passed the Finlayson River and eventually wound up at the Pelly River, near the town of Ross River. He then followed the Canol Road, to Quiet Lake, and then back to the Alaska Highway. He took a side trip to Atlin, British Columbia (which was then only accessible from Yukon), passing the ghost town of O'Donnell. Other wide trips included to Carcross, Haines, Alaska, the Taylor Highway, to Eagle, Alaska, eventually resuming his trip on the Alaska Highway to Dawson City. Further side trips included to Inuvik, Northwest Territories and back South to Whitehorse.
  Please expand on this side trip to Inuvik. How did you cross the Peel and Arctic Red Rivers as there were no ferries in 1978.
