"Alaska is full of many campfire stories that have been handed down through the generations. Few are as lasting and retold as the first Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic Race in 1982. A group of racers stood on the bank of a big river wondering how to circumvent the torrent when the grizzled sage Dick Griffith walked up, donned his fuzzy Viking hat, inflated a surplus, one-man raft and bid ado to the terrestrial bound adventurers."
