In Whitehorse we rode with a real beauty, Joe Degraff. Joe is a young guy and the leader of the Whitehorse trail crew. He was in one of the first classes of the Mountain Bike Operations program at Capilano College on the Sunshine Coast. He regaled us with tales of Moose hunting trips with his family, of rafting rivers, subzero temperatures, and the life and death tradition of putting meat on the table in the Canadian North.
