    Trip report on Noatak/Colville Rivers in Gates of the Arctic NP and National Petroleum Reserve?

    Another from The Last Frontier

    Good Day, I've been paddling some thing or another since I was 8 years old and won the canoe race in an aluminum Grumman at YMCA Camp Douglass in Michigan. Got my first boat in the late 1970's, a 14' glass canoe from Bart Hauthaway, raced it on the Kenduskeag, wrong boat for racing but also...
