In Memory


This site, its adventures and its commitment to education about wild places is dedicated to the memory of Richard and Katherine Huffman, who died spending time in the Arctic they loved along the Hulahula River in June 2005.

    Shannon and Family,

    Saw your article in ALL YOU Magazine. Your father and stepmother would be proud that you are carrying on their torch so to speak. You are an amazing young woman and I hope your adventures only bring you joy and peace. May your God be with you and yours. Stay safe.
