There is no evidence that the Tidds ever owned a motor vehicle. They lived in the Yukon during the steamboat era, so that most of their long voyages in the summer were by water. For shorter trips, they traveled by foot, by bicycle, or by canoe. In winter, they relied on their dogs, although Mary once traveled by snowmobile from Mayo to Whitehorse. Once they moved to Old Crow, they sometimes took the plane to Fairbanks.
