The Best of Past Issues: Treasurer Tom Eckert's selection:ALASKAN GREEN HOUSE

摘要

We live on the Kantishna river in the interior of Alaska and enjoy a greenhouse that is as much a product of this land as anything could be. It is 300 miles by river to Fairbanks, the nearest place we can get supplies. That is a full day's trip for myhusband Mike with our boat. By bush plane it is only two hours, but they can only carry so much weight, and definitely no large items. That is where Mike's boat comes in handy. It is a 21-foot river boat that with a load can go at most 45 mph with the 115 hp Yamaha motor.
