Under a heavy snowfall, we left Boneyard ( Nicholai ) cabin at 11 am towards Trapper Cabin. It has been a hard working day for everybody because of the fresh snow which covered the whole trail. Elizabeth with her sno machine had followed what was left of the old tracks and we behind her had our hard time in order to keep on going ahead.
And then, after 4 hours , we reached the section of the Yukon where we should have turned right and crossed the River to look for Trapper Cabin. The storm was so strong that we had to give up and continue on the few tracks that we could see. We stopped after 5 and half hours of stopless trip before dark, on the right hand side River bank, the other side of Kokrines, in a place out of the wind, to set up our camp.
Megh, Ciors and the other dogs were tired and we were too. We all ate well though, set up our tents and…tried to sleep! The snow kept on falling on us and the dogs, although well bedded with their straw that we brought with us, were real nervous maybe because of some wild animal around our …Hotel " Yukon ". A not so simple day and night !
This section of the trail had been coverei in 1925 by two mail carriers, Dave Corning until Nine Mile Cabin ( 24 miles ) and Edgar Kallands from there to Kokrines ( 30 miles)
