In 1994, Reinette Senum would become the first woman to cross Alaska alone. Skiing 600 miles down the frozen Yukon River, 55 below, without gun, tent or radio, Reinette would stay in an Athabascan village half way across the state. There, while waiting for the river to break up, Reinette would cut down 3 trees and build a canoe, paddling an additional 900 miles to complete her journey in 4 months, 6 days. It would be two years after Reinette completed her trek that she would discover the journey had actually begun a century before (Part 2 Family Ties).... the twist to this ending is other worldly.
