Buck- Read your blog about floating the Yellowstone. I’ve floated the Mississippi River from St. Paul to New Orleans, and plan on floating the length of the Yellowstone this summer. My only concern are the wing dams on the lower river. Can you easily portage around them, or line over them? How many dams are there? Are they marked on any map of the river?
Any information you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,
I had no problem portaging the dams. I think there are six of them. This link might help. http://fwp.mt.gov/mtoutdoors/HTML/articles/2005/DiversionDams.htm
Good luck! I love the Yellowstone.

Hi Bruce, Have enjoyed all the dvd’s and book for awhile. You are doing things I wished to do years ago but too many commitments until now. Approaching 70 years old and remember my grandfather telling me about his trips to Alaska in the 40’s and 50’s and wanting to go. I am planning a hike of the Brooks Range and Kodiak this year but only for a week at a time. I would appreciate any advice and especially the chance to talk personally at any time. Do you do any programs in the lower 48? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I’m glad you liked them!
One option for the Brooks would be to do a hike near Atigun Pass off the Haul Road. Maybe in July before sheep season and after snow melt. That way you could extend it or shorten it depending on supplies and how it’s going.
I think most people don’t hike Kodiak largely because it often runs brushy.
I haven’t been doing presentations in Alaska or the Lower 48.
Good luck!
Buck
