Northern Bound

May has begun, spring is in the air, the days are noticeably longer, and we are itching to get on the road.  This year we are planning a northern trip - the Yukon and Alaska!  Three months will give us plenty of time for hiking, fishing, and exploring in the exciting North!

We plan to beetle straight up through BC to the Alaska Highway in Fort St. John, turning north by Dawson City to drive the Dempster to Inuvik.  This has been on our bucket list for a while now - 800 km of gravel road, much of it above the Arctic Circle, may not be on everyone's top ten, but we can hardly wait.  We'll have to drive the Dempster in both directions - it's the only road to Inuvik, but we should be rewarded with fantastic photo ops, wildlife, and of course, endless days in June.  From there, we'll head west through Alaska, down to Anchorage, and eastward to Juneau and back into BC.

We still have lots to do to get the camper ready, so we'd better get started.  Come along with us, and join this wonderful new expedition to the heart of our northern territories.
