Short version;
First tried to cross at the confluence of the Tanana and Chena, made it to the first island we usually ride across and then island hopped to the 2nd one. Ice was pretty jumbled and nobody was brave enough to try and cross
So we backed tracked and went down the channel we also usually go down to get to the main channel, again more jumbled ice and no one got any braver.
Drove back down the trail along the dik-e to So Cushman ad crossed there following a trappers trail to the road. ode up to Clear Creek Buttes.
Temps were showing at -10, so we had a short break and headed back All told some 40 plus miles. The snow wasn't to bad on our first try across and near the Butte, but along the road it was pretty thin.
