crossing the Copper River at the tramway location

  After Summer overhaul, Carl Lofroth and myself were moving the Tucker back to the Zymoetz side of the river for winter.  Due to the ice on the edge of the river  we couldn’t find a place to get out of the river, so we went up and down, searching for an opening in the bank. This picture was taken dead center of the river.
        While we were crossing the river in the Tucker Sno-Cat, the relieving Supervisor at the time, Dennis Hull, had told us upon leaving Terrace, that he wanted a radio call, the minute we entered the river , and we were to keep the line open while we crossed, in case of an emergency.  Well we did mostly what he told us, except we played a wee trick on him.  We called him like he said, but after we were just about half way across, I started to yell and scream into the mike and telling him we were being washed downstream in high water, well you could have heard a pin drop on the other end of the call!
