The current expedition, at least it was still going 2 weeks ago,
is being partially sponsored by Mad River Canoe. Mad River dealers
should have a good sized sign with a writeup on how the expedition
is progressing. It "looked" like they were using an oversized canoe
as a supply sled with a dog team pulling the canoe-sled.
I didn't read up on the expedition, I was having too much fun demoing
boats.
