Sun City resident continues prep for Yukon - Huseonica and partner will float the wilderness river
“Art “Karts” Huseonica and Lauren “Lolo” Sherwood are frequently asked the question how their Yukon 2020 expedition came to be.
Mr. Huseonica, a Sun City resident, first pondered traveling the entire 2,000-mile Yukon River two years ago. His 2016 Amazon River expedition leader and author, Jacki Hill-Murphy, suggested the adventure. Over time, the idea morphed several times, resulting in a Yukon River source-to-sea run in an open, Canadian-style canoe.”
Record-setting Attempts on the Yukon River
“(Phoenix, Arizona, USA, February 11, 2019) Phoenix area resident Art “Karts” Huseonica, 68, will embark on an expedition to canoe the length of the Yukon River starting mid-June 2020. His eight-week journey will include challenging currents, late-season ice flows, inclement weather, and dangerous wildlife.
He has a number of adventures to his name, including a record-setting Death Valley traverse, a modern era record-setting Amazon River expedition, and he’s the oldest person to yo-yo the 800-mile Arizona National Scenic Trail. If he is successful on this expedition he will be the oldest person at 69 to accomplish this remarkable feat in a canoe.”
