A few years ago I read a story that I believe took place in Alaska. A young man inherited some land and there was a gold mine on it. The mine was on the opposite side of thr creek/river. They put in a couple hydro power plants in the Ford. They had a radar unit put in by U.S. Government or State of Alaska. They used tracked Arctic Cats to bring in some supplies. They had to stop at night and had them so they could go between them
