This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies located in the American Redoubt region that are of interest to preppers and survivalists.

A Guide to Stehekin: A Remote Paradise in the North Cascades. Here is a quote
“Believe it or not, there are no roads that lead to Stehekin. The only way to reach Stehekin is via boat, plane, or foot!
Riding the Lake Chelan Boat Company’s Lady of the Lake passenger ferry serves as one of the most scenic routes to reach Stehekin! This year-round ferry service offers rides to Stehekin, Holden Village and Upper Lake Chelan aboard vessels that navigate the reflective waters of Lake Chelan. Keep your eyes peeled during the trip to see some spectacular scenes that highlight the beauty of Lake Chelan.
The trip to Stehekin is half the fun of visiting! The Stehekin Ferry provides another option to reach Stehekin via boat. Arrive in Stehekin via your own boat and dock at one of 16 different public docks, including one at Stehekin Landing.
Some of the biggest adventure enthusiasts reach Stehekin via a hike or horseback ride along one of several trails. All backpacking overnight adventures require a backcountry permit.”
