omputer Play Stuart Nelson Jr. paddled his kayak expertly down the Little Wind River. The late August weather was warm and sunny, despite Nelson’s proximity to the Arctic Circle.

Eroding spruce trees dangled from steep riverbanks into the water, their limbs dancing with the current in a deep, fast rhythm. “The thought went through my mind to be really careful here,” 58-year-old Nelson says. “These were not simple annoyances; they were serious obstacles.” No sooner had Nelson reminded himself of the dangerous situation than he rounded a bend and plowed straight into a fortress of heaving branches. “I knew I was going to hit it,” he recalls. “There was no way I could miss it.” The boat hit the sweeper, flipped over and became tangled in spruce boughs. “Well, this could be it,” thought Nelson, who, even with his life jacket on, couldn’t tell up from down as he descended below the water’s surface.

The Nelson family moved to Columbia from Kissimmee, Fla., when Nelson’s father accepted a position with the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. “Being a kid in Missouri, I loved the outdoors,” says Nelson, who spent much of his free time canoeing and camping around the state. The family traveled to Alaska in 1967, and it was there that Nelson had his first taste of the Last Frontier. “I went up to that big country, saw the land, the beautiful rivers, the mountains,” Nelson remembers. “It captured my imagination.” Nelson, a Hickman High School alumnus, later attended veterinary school at MU. In 1995, he became the chief veterinarian for the Iditarod Dog Sled Race — although because the 1,161-mile race across Alaska is a once-a-year event (beginning the first Saturday in March), Nelson also practices in Sandpoint, Idaho. “The Iditarod is my full-time part-time job,” he jokes.

Every August, Nelson takes a “river month” in the Canadian wilderness. He’s completed 18 solo kayak trips, which adds up to about 6,000 miles of paddling in the Yukon. All of those trips have ended successfully — except his 2010 expedition. “This year was the first time I didn’t come out on my own,” he says. “I had to be rescued.”

When Nelson crawled out of the river on the afternoon of Aug. 23, his boat was pinned under the branches of the dying spruce. He felt stunned, shocked from the collision and the icy water. His No. 1 rule, “make no mistakes,” had been shattered. He climbed onto the tree and tried to free his boat. He pushed and pulled without success. He held onto the on sweeper and jumped on the kayak, which caused the current to spit the craft into the raging current. Nelson plummeted under water once more and realized his No. 2 rule was now broken: Never get separated from your boat. He tried to swim after his kayak — and the items stowed inside, which included his passport, cash, credit cards, driver’s license and satellite phone — but more sweepers intervened. He felt himself growing heavier in the water and crawled to the shore. He walked along Little Wind for seven hours with no sign of the boat. Around 11 p.m., he lay down to rest. Nelson awoke at dawn and continued his search, eating wild currents and blueberries as he walked. By the time he reached the larger Wind River, he’d accepted that his boat was gone. Suddenly, he heard an airplane flying down the Little Wind. Clad in neutral colors, he jumped wildly and ran sideways, hoping to move into the pilot’s line of sight. “My natural instinct was to yell,” he says, “which was totally stupid because he couldn’t hear me.” The plane passed, and Nelson began to assess his situation. A large gravel bar sprawled along the confluence of the Little

Mini Project 1 - Love Letter

Love Letter

I have chosen “Kingthings Willowless” in the letter “o” because it has a specific, decorative quality that would work well in certain cases, such as being used as a header to grab the attention of the viewer. I also like the fact that it isn’t overly decorative and the semi circle cut outs along both sides add another dimension of detail without being gaudy. I also like the organic feel of the swirls because

it gives it just enough oomph to make it fun, especially in the use of a children’s book or for holiday uses like Halloween.

Infographic

If a group of women are standing together but their eyes are wandering, they are likely to be looking for guys. If they each take a turn to break away from the group tot head to the bathroom alone, they are on the prowl. If they are

huddled together giggling, they are usually not interested in finding men.
