The South Nahanni River of Canada's North west Territories has
captivated canoeists and adventurers for decades. The author tells
how they transported their provisions in to the remote area and
built their cabin on the South Nahanni River, an area cut off from
the outside world by mountain ranges, its only highway the wild
river that carves its way through cliffs a thousand feet high. Here
the Moores lived for a year, and travelled by canoe, foot,
snowshoe, and ski on the isolated land they came to love. It was
not always idyllic: they fought against loneliness and dangerously
cold temperatures, John narrowly escaped being crushed under their
food cache and both fell through the ice into the freezing waters
of the river. An engaging adventure story, this is also a blueprint
for anyone wishing to make a wilderness-living dream come true.
Included in this edition are the author's thoughts twenty years
after the adventure as she and John embark on a return visit to the
Nahanni with their two children.
