Walking Back to Marshall

 

"It happened during the winter about five or six years ago while I was going to Russian Mission to play basketball. I was between Ohagamiut and Russian Mission when I started having snowmachine problems, so I decided to turn back to Marshall. It was about 25 to 30 degrees below zero, and near Kwik my snowmachine broke down and I had to start walking home. On my way home I had no water because I didn't want to eat snow since snow slows the body down. But while I was walking I found a bag of dry fish, so at least I had something to eat. When it got dark out I was still walking and it was hard to see the trail.

When I got to the end of the Marshall airport I walked down the road and stopped at the spring to get a drink of water, then I went home. It took me about eight hours to walk from Kwik to Marshall.

The next day I found a ride to go back and pick up my snowmachine. The only problem on my snowmachine turned out to be a broken chain case."
