1980's Grandby. The couple who own the truck and trailer are from Austria. The truck and four horses are kept in Colorado. The are up here to do a three month horse trip from the Hyland River up the Nahanni Range Road and go north to Mayo, which is east of Dawson City, Yukon. They did a similar trip last year in the Muncho Lake Area of northern British Columbia, which is 200 miles south east of Watson Lake. They will have to do some serious riding before they can really begin the trip as the Nahanni range road is closed not far from the junction of the Robert Campbell road. They will have to ride about 40 miles up the road before they can start. Right now it will be very tricky and dangerous to cross some of the rivers along the road which have washed out the bridge and culvert crossings. They have already have had food for themselves and the horses dropped at locations along the route.
Will be quite an adventure. Interesting that it is always people from Europe who mostly seem to do these type of trips.
Wow, what a journey they have ahead of them. It is so interesting to hear about peoples unordinary travels.
