Deep Snow
A while back, around 1980, David Evan
and one of his friends were on their way from Russian Mission to
Kaiskag where they planned to meet up with a group of people and then
go caribou hunting. From the start the day wasn't travelable. It was
snowing heavily in the morning, and as the day went on the wind
picked up and soon it was a blizzard.
In the late afternoon the storm eased
and the two decided to take a chance since the wind had ceased. They
thought they would make it without any trouble because both of them
had made the trip many times before. David had even broken the trail
once before and wasn't worried.
They left Russian Mission around five
P.M. and at first the trail seemed alright. But when they got out of
the tree line and on to the flat tundra the wind hit. They should
have turned back then but didn't, and after a while Dave's friend
noticed that they were off the trail. They turned back but could not
find their trail and ended up riding for a long time until they found
out that they had been making a circle. Soon afterward they both ran
out of gas. Since it was about eleven o'clock at night, they decided
to dig a levle in the snow and sleep.
The next morning the sky cleared and
they found out where they were, about twenty miles away from the
trail. From where they stood it seemed that they were close to
Piamiut, so they decided to to walk toward the river and from there
to either Piamiut or back to Russian Mission.
The first day of walking was good and
they covered a lot of miles, but on the second day they got left the
slough thinking that a straight route would be faster. It wasn't. The
snow in the trees averaged waist deep and made their journey harder.
They had no food and there was no game to be found so they were
hungry. It took them four days to reach the Yukon, and when they got
there they walked to Dog Fish camp and spent the night in the cabin.
They were warm but there was no food. The next morning Dave and his
friend completed their journey to Russian Mission. Finally, after
almost eight days they could rest.
