Another tour around Fort Yukon




Took another ride around Fort Yukon. We could see locals travelling on snow mobiles. Had a stopover @ the health clinic (top pic). Interestingly, Richard mentioned that expectant mothers have to travel to Fairbanks to give birth, 2 weeks or even much earlier during the winter time. Got a pic of the satellite which allows the transmission of TV, radio & internet in the community. then its back to the centre for our farewells & to the airport for a flight back to Fairbanks.
