About

adventure is not about how far or where you travel...it's what you make of yourself as you are getting there

almost lost the tent.  Wind storm in Haines Junction, Yukon.  Plenty of firewood that night.  Kluane National Park - wildly beautiful.  Bear watch x 3.

Richardson Mountains, NWT.  Fireweed everywhere.  Enroute to Inuvik and then Tuktoyaktuk.  Later…tea and bannock on the MacKenzie River.  Met an RCMP officer and had lunch at Eagle Plains earlier in the day.  We met again in Fort MacPherson.  Visited the outpost Nursing Station.

Ogilvie Mountains,  Yukon  
We camped twice along the Dempster Route.  Isolated.  Without the company of trees.  There… you’re exposed.

on the “rock”   overlooking Yellowknife Bay (Great Slave Lake).  One night at the Golden Nugget proved to be somewhat of an adventure.   I have a scar to show for it.

heading for Yellowknife  NWT.  overlooking a hundred square miles of forest toward Great Slave Lake and the MacKenzie River.  Bridge ends.  But a steep path here leads to an ancient coral reef.

Salt Plains,  Wood Buffalo National Park   Northwest Territories, Canada
The trail down from the escarpment led to these deposits of salt, on a plain once covered by an ocean.  Salt on my tongue and fingers was something I never expected.
