When my brother and I did the Noatak in August 2006, we likely would have floated right past if it weren't for Ricky on the bank issuing instructions on how to line the boat back up the side channel to the village. He then hosted us for the evening and let us use his shed to hang our caribou...then prepared us dinner all the while serving up steaming mugs of coffee and great helpings of good conversation... Pretty much the most helpful human we encountered in 400 miles of river! Helpful guy to hapless travelers that Ricky Ashby!
