7/20/10 – Tuesday: Today we boarded the Riverboat Discovery and cruised the Chena and Tanana Rivers. Along the way, in addition to oohing and aahing some of the beautiful homes along the river’s banks, we saw a bush pilot take off and land his float plane on the river, saw Susan Butcher’s Iditarod champion sled dogs in action, saw an authentic Native Gish Camp where we watched a salmon be filleted in a traditional manner. The only stop was at an authentic Athabascan Indian Village. Here we were shown how the lived for thousands of years as they moved along with the caribou, how they hunted and utilized every part of what they hunted and how they made their clothes from the animal skins. It was a beautiful sunny day and the trip was delightful. The day ended with a buffet dinner for the group.
