On December 29, 2021, the Alaska Wildlife Troopers were notified that two adult males were stranded on their snowmachines outside of Nenana. The two men’s snowmachines were stuck in overflow, and they did not know their exact location. The two men had been attempting to rescue two other men that had been caught in overflow on December 28, 2021 who were taking shelter at a cabin. Fairbanks based Wildlife Troopers determined the stranded men’s location and responded to Nenana with snow machines to attempt a rescue. Poor weather conditions prevented Trooper air assets from traveling to the area, so assistance was requested from the US Army. An Army helicopter traveled to the area from Fort Wainwright and picked up two Wildlife Troopers in Nenana. Both men stranded with their snowmachines in overflow were rescued, and one man from the cabin were picked up by the helicopter, one man opted to stay at the cabin.
