Chapter 2117 Drifting Begins
Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon, is a transliteration, which translates to Whitehorse City. Although this is the capital of the Yukon Territory, when you arrive here, the first thing you feel is silence, which is not even as high as the smaller Dawson decibel .
There are no noisy crowds, no high-rise buildings, and the largest store besides Wal-Mart and other supermarkets is an outdoor goods store.
The airport is very small and there is no corridor bridge. The specimen of a pair of alpine goats fighting at the baggage claim takes people to the mountains, woods, and wilderness.
They rented two off-road vehicles, packed their luggage, and first purchased supplies in Whitehorse City, especially outdoor equipment and food. They had to be prepared, and then drove along Watson Hoo, Stewart, and Hazelton all the way, while playing. While warming up for rafting.
Who would have thought that their combination of rich, famous, and ZZ family would appear in the small Baima City. Of course, it is difficult for people like them to have real freedom. One kilometer away is Yang Cheng and their bodyguards. There are a few of them, and the bodyguards are more noisy. There is no way, there are at least four bodyguards per person, and there are 16 bodyguards together, plus some weapons and equipment, it takes 5 rented cars to install them.
The car was driving on the Alaska Highway, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Yang Cheng felt that it was more shocking than California Highway 1.
Watson Hoo is actually a small town named after the British hunter FRANK WATSON. Come here to experience the world-famous license plate forest.
Since DANVILLE nailed the first road sign in 1942, there have been more than 50,000 road signs here, which is very spectacular!
Anyone can nail the road signs of their hometown here, and many people nail or hang their belongings here as a souvenir because they are not prepared.
Yang Cheng and the others didn't join in the fun, mainly because the number of tourists here suddenly increased, and Xiao Lizi didn't have time to dress up, so she got off the car and waited to be surrounded, so they could only take some photos in the car aggrieved Then continue on the road.
The road to Stewart, Columbia is bumpy, which adds a little fun and uncertainty to the driving. It is drizzling, and there are soft white clouds floating on the mountainside beside the road, like ribbons wrapped around the waist of a fairy; layer by layer The mist floats on the water and wanders in the woods in the mountains beside the road, just like a fairyland ~ people can't help but admire.
There was no one here, so they got out of the car one after another and hugged the young model to take pictures. Yang Cheng and William paid more attention and asked the young model to delete the group photo, leaving only their personal portraits. There is no way, their identities have to be careful, One already has a family, and the other will soon have a family. If you don't want to be infamous for a long time, you'd better be careful.
On the road again, not long after driving out, suddenly, two bears ran out from the bushes by the roadside,
Rushing onto the road, William who was driving was caught off guard and slammed on the brakes and turned to the left and rushed to the wrong direction. The young models screamed in fright.
The car wobbled to a stop, and the two little bears looked at them innocently from the door on the right side of the car, as if saying: Hey you guys, be careful, this is my place~
After a demonstration, the two cubs chased and fought and left the road. William quickly stepped on the accelerator and returned to his own road to avoid accidents caused by reverse vehicles rushing out.
Fortunately, David and his car were far away from behind, otherwise such an emergency brake would definitely cause a rear-end collision.
When the car was back on the road, David asked on the walkie-talkie, "What happened just now? The car lost control?"
Yang Cheng pressed the walkie-talkie and replied, "No, William was startled by the sudden appearance of two bears."
"That's good. Be sure to pay attention to safety here. Don't drive too fast. There are often wild animals running out of the nearby forest."
"Understood, go on, it's okay~"
Next, Stewart and Hyde are sister towns with a distance of only 3 kilometers, but they belong to different countries. Hyde belongs to Alaska, the United States, and it is the only place in the United States that does not have customs and border defense.
There is a famous stream in Hyde - FISH CREEK. It is famous because in this stream, there are salmon going upstream to give birth in July and August every year. Bears preying on salmon here has become a big sight.
It may be that they came too early, and the salmon hadn't swam over yet. While waiting, only a naive brown bear came to patronize. No fish was found in the creek, and they left angrily. The brown bear seemed to be familiar with humans. Yang Cheng and the others didn't respond at all, they just let out a demonstrative roar, and then scurried into the woods with their big buttocks twisted.
It made them nervous for a while, and you could tell their mood just by looking at the shotguns they held tightly.
After the bear left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the owner of the nearby shop ran out to comfort them, saying that there are often bears here, and he often feeds them, so don’t be nervous. There will be no danger to the nerves.
Without staying too long, we continued to the city of Maurice to watch the local aborigines catch salmon beside the rapids. This is actually a very dangerous job. The huge salmon struggles in the net and may bring people into the rapids at any time. Even if you can get away with a safety rope, the impact of the big waves and the rocks are enough to kill you.
After landing, the fisherman will put the fish into a long box to measure the length of the fish. If the fish is not up to standard, it will be put back into the river to protect the ecological balance.
I stayed in a nearby town for one night, and officially started the rafting trip the next day. For these men who grew up in Europe and the United States, the wild is no stranger. He has been through the jungle and has hunting experience.
But drifting is really the first time for those masters, including David Ellison, who designed this party trip, who has only heard of this game and never tried it.
With no rafting experience except occasional lake rafting, William had used canoes anyway.
So before setting off, I asked a young man from the canoe company to give them a simple training. This training is very important and can save lives at critical moments. Therefore, no one dared to neglect, and they all studied very seriously.
At first they seemed very leisurely, paddling their canoes and sailing out of the bay where they docked. Although the river flow was fast, reaching 8 miles per hour, there was no wind and waves, and they were all enjoying the leisure and romance.
Admiring the beautiful scenery of the Yukon River, enjoying the peace and quiet, the two sides are surrounded by mountains and dense forests, desolate, and the only thing you can hear is the sound of boats and paddles, and of course the cheers of young models are indispensable.
Returning from the hustle and bustle of the city to such a primitive nature, the joy and peace of mind are hard to express in words. I don’t think about anything, I don’t do anything, I just wave the paddle mechanically and watch the canoe paddling on both sides. out of the beautiful arc.
This wonderful event lasted for about 4 hours, when a big wave hit and almost overturned the small canoe. Before they knew it, they had sailed out of the Yukon River and entered LAKE LABERGE, one of the largest lakes in Canada.
Frightened, they instinctively chose to paddle towards the shore, but the raging waves kept hitting the canoe, and the canoe struggled like a leaf in the wind and waves.
The cabin has been flooded, and there is a danger of capsizing at any time. This is the most dangerous place for rafting, and many people have sunk to the bottom of the lake because of this.
Fortunately, during the training, they listened carefully to the lectures, relied on their insignificant experience, used the skills they had just learned to control the boat, tried to keep the canoe perpendicular to the waves, shouted and encouraged each other, and rowed to the shore with all their strength. A log cabin.
It seems that the distance is very close, but it took a full 3 hours to finally reach the shore. Fortunately, these people have experienced strong winds and waves, and they did not panic because of this incident. Of course, mainly by roaring.
Several people dragged their exhausted bodies and pulled the boat ashore, and at the end there was a canoe carrying equipment, which was also pulled up together.
This is a maple grove with two small wooden houses, which are temporary residences for local workers when they work. Outside the houses are tables, chairs, iron fences for lighting fires, and tools such as saws and axes, but no one is there now. William tried to push Pushing the door of the fence, it opened unexpectedly, and said, "Let's go in and rest for a while, and leave some money for them when you leave."
Everyone has no objection, and it's not forcibly occupying, just borrowing the place temporarily, which is also the rule in the mountains and forests here.
After a brief discussion, they were divided into two groups, one group went to light the fire, and the other group went to unload the equipment on the canoe. They were well prepared and had everything to eat.
However, when they were carrying it, they found that the grass under their feet was full of bird eggs, some of which had been accidentally trampled.
Although he had deliberately detoured, damage was inadvertently caused. There were thick weeds, and he could not see the end at a glance, so he could only meditate on his sins silently.
David Ellison found a large pile of shit near the fence, and it looked like it was left by a large animal. This made them feel uneasy, but they were lucky. The owner of the feces should have been away for a long time, and there is no other poop nearby, which proves that the other party should not be a permanent resident here.
The person in charge of making the fire is William. He has good experience in field survival. With the help of modern tools, it is not difficult to make a fire. There are plenty of dry branches in the surrounding jungle, so there is no need to worry about lack of raw materials.
Yang Cheng opened two cans, which were regarded as extra meals, and a few tender models were there cooking pasta and fried sauce, and suddenly felt good.
Probably because they were hungry, the few people couldn't care less about their appearance, and started to gobble it up, and soon the whole pot of noodles was eaten up.
After the meal, they discussed and decided to set up camp here tonight and continue drifting tomorrow.
For safety, Yang Cheng and William formed a security team with people with more hunting experience, and scouted the surrounding environment with hunting knives, mainly to understand the nearby terrain and animal information.
There were only the two of them in the silent woods, stepping on the soft ground scattered with branches and rotting leaves, making a "creaking" sound, the wind blowing from time to time, feeling something coming from behind, looking back constantly, but what? nor.
When he was nervous, he thought of the shit again. William said, "This place used to be the territory of a certain brown bear, but because humans saw the wooden house here, the brown bear had to go away, but there are still brown bears here. Breath, most animals are afraid to step in easily, so we should be safe."
Yang Cheng nodded and agreed with William's analysis, mainly because no trace of large carnivores was found along the way, except for the pile of shit.
