Brett crosses the Teklanika

The "Tek" is the river that undid Chris McCandless. After realizing his predicament he tried to cross the Tek on the Stampede Trail, but was scared by the fast water and returned to the bus, where he ultimately starved. Where we crossed the Tek, higher up near the park road, it is only thigh-high and a relatively straightforward crossing.
