A true wilderness adventure that took place in northern British Columbia in the fall of 1954. Clem Reierson was hired by Willard (Wilf) Freer to help take a string of packhorses from Germansen landing, north through an untamed territory to the Ketchika River Valley. After Wilf and Clem reached their destination at Skook's "Diamond J Horse Ranch," Clem waited for a plane that Wilf assured him would fly him out to Watson Lake. Months went by and no plane arrived. So it was decided, in the dead of winter, to snowshoe out to Lower Post.
