1) Davis Creek is an extremely small headwater tributary of the Walker Fork of the Fortymile River in Alaska.

3)Everett Ruess took the pseudonym “NEMO.” It means 'nobody.'

4) It is widely believed that Ruess fell to his death while climbing on some canyon wall. Some, however, believe he just chose to disappear, and lived the rest of his life under a pseudonym. Ken Sleight, an expert on him, believes he drowned trying to swim across the San Juan River.

5) The Papar were 5th Century Irish Monks.
