Interlude
We’d now like to take a momentary pause from feudin’ in order to call your attention to something that’s actually worth reading.
While researching a blog post about alternative wilderness activities, we came across an Up Here article on nude hiking. We then noticed a superb blog post by the article’s author, Tim Querengesser.
Some of you may remember Tim as a Yukon News reporter who took off to spend a year reporting from Africa. (Or maybe he was really at a secret Marsh Lake gulag building illegal docks for B&Rs.) He has since landed in Yellowknife, where he continues to churn out some of the most engaging writing about the North. In fact, if there’s anyone who writes better about the North, we haven’t found him or her–although fellow Up Here contributor Katharine Sandiford could give him a run for his money.
So, if you’re looking for an online source of quality northern writing, no need to wait for What’s Up Yukon to post its next issue to its website. Head to the Up Here blog and get a taste of the good stuff. Seriously.

You’re welcome. We look forward to reading more. Mark backpacked across Africa ten years ago, so he enjoyed your dispatches from Kenya as well. Some day, he might tell you the story about his work as a mediator in Ethiopia. No, nothing to do with the Eritrean conflict–just a little misunderstanding between an itinernant Kenyan worker and a prostitute at a hotel in Moyale. Like many stories out of Africa, it involved barf.
