I'm only vaguely aware of the Nahanni. Connie Helmricks may have mentioned it in her book about traveling down the Peace and McKenzie rivers. Seems awkward to talk about going "down" these rivers when they flow north, which is "up" on the map. Guess I should add "Dangerous River" by Patterson to my reading list. When I pulled it up on Amazon, "Canoeing With The Cree" came up on the also-purchased list. Sevareid and his partner paddled up the Minnesota and then down the Red River to Lake Winnipeg and Hudson Bay. That's a trip I used to think about making, before I got preoccupied with making a living. Maybe someday. My great grandfather from Ontario went up the Minnesota in the mid-1800s, so I have some family history tied up in that river. I've been in the general area of the Nahanni while traveling the Alaska Highway. Looks like it flows into the Liard River, and I remember car camping on the Liard and visiting Liard Hot Springs. When we crossed the Peace River bridge I looked north and it reminded me of the wild Mississippi a few hundred years ago. My "explorer impulse" flashed, and then we were off the bridge and the brief glimpse was filed away in memory. Later I read "Down the Wild River North", which gave me a better picture of this region. -Snow
