ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The search for a missing French adventurer was suspended along the eastern coast of Katmai National Park and Preserve after aerial searches didn’t reveal any signs of his whereabouts, authorities said. The search for Francois Guenot was called off late Saturday, a day after park rangers found his kayak containing his identification, food, maps and personal journals, said Katmai National Park Chief Ranger Neal Labrie. The kayak was discovered on a beach along Shelikof Strait about 200 miles southwest of Anchorage. “We’ve picked up nothing more,” Labrie told The Associated Press on Monday. “And the last journal entry he had amongst his goods was dated June 15.” Guenot was last heard from on May 26 near Kamishak Bay. The National Park Service had planes modify flight patterns to search for Guenot. “Had there been anybody or anything to see along those coastal areas, we probably would have seen them,” Labrie said. The U.S. Coast Guard also
conducted aerial searches Saturday and had a boat positioned along the shore. If he decided to abandon the kayak and walk, the search area could be endless, since his possible route wasn’t known, Labrie said. “There’s really no reason why he would have left all his personal belongings, especially his ID behind,” Labrie said. “He seems extremely unpredictable.” When he was 32, Guenot told Yukon News, a newspaper in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, in January 2012 that he was a ski instructor from Maiche, France, who dreamed of adventure in North America, across the wilds of Canada and Alaska. “I don’t want to stay like a dog on a leash in France,” he told the newspaper. Guenot arrived in Canada in the summer of 2011 to begin his trek across the continent, which included several misadventures, including falling into a river in the winter. He eventually made his way to Fairbanks, where he found a bike at the dump and rode it to Homer. Guenot then went to Seldovia, where he found two

kayaks and made them into one seaworthy vessel. He began showing up in villages along the shore of Lake Iliamna in southwest Alaska last fall. Guenot befriended Kokhanok resident Gary Nielsen and lived on his property in a tent. When it was too cold in the winter to sleep outside, Nielsen said Guenot slept in the steam bath. Guenot, whom Nielsen said became known as “the crazy Frenchman,” ultimately wanted to reach the Kamchatka
Peninsula in Russia. He set off in May, telling Nielsen that he was going to Perryville, which was hundreds of miles away. Nielsen said Guenot had trouble comprehending the great distances involved in traveling Alaska. Another friend, Jim Tilley of Intricate Bay, spent time with Guenot last fall. He said everyone liked Guenot, but there were worries. “He was just aloof to the dangers of Alaska,” Tilley said.
Swollen creek not enough to halt food FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — A little thing like a flooded creek was not enough to keep an Alaska restaurant owner from delivering Thai ribs and fried rice to stranded customers over the weekend. Anuson “Knott” Poolsawat, owner of Knott’s Take Out in North Pole, forded the swollen waters of Clear Creek to reach two customers stuck along the Richardson Highway. Mike Laiti and Brandon Borgens were completing a multi-day drive Saturday night up the Alaska Highway when they called in
their order to the restaurant, which was near closing. As they approached Clear Creek, they learned a sinkhole had developed from heavy rain near the creek. The state Department of Transportation closed the bridge. Laiti called Poolsawat to cancel their order at the restaurant more than 25 miles away in North Pole. “I called him and said, ‘Hey man, I can’t make it,’ and he said, ‘Not a problem, I’ll come cross the waters,’” Laiti said. “He called me and said, ‘Should I bring a boat?’”
