Wilderness trek earns high honor at Dartmouth
Dartmouth junior Paul P. Roberts of Crawfordsville Ind received the John Ledyard Medal for a 1030 mile canoe trek from Yellowknife to Chantrey Inlet in the Canadian Northwest Territories to the Arctic Ocean. He and three Purdue teammates spent 57 days in two 17 foot canoes loaded with 800 pounds of gear navigating Great Slave Lake Artillery Lake and Back River, enduring gale portages near the Arctic Circle and fierce insects before being picked up by a bush pilot and returning to Hanover.
