Mar.24, 2013, Sunny, SCT CI, Temp -6C
The Tacoma's now home in its garage (or car hole) as Moe from the Simpsons would say. I know, apparently too much Simpsons trivia game was played on this trip.
We set out to drive the Mackenzie valley road system as far as Colville Lake and we accomplished that. As our latitude ticked up we met some interesting people, drove across the land in a way that's only accessible 3 months a year and experienced 'the North'. I have new-found respect for the truckers (even Joe) and how they transport their loads up that road. How they move some of that massive equipment is a mystery to us.
And there are still mysteries out there.
Why were two of the innumerable creeks we crossed still free of ice when it was -25C?
Why do hotels close on Sundays in the NWT?
And how long does it take to boil a can of soup in an electric kettle? These mysteries are for other travelers to solve.
I hope you enjoyed reading about our travels. I know we enjoyed sharing it with you all.
