Drove to Inuvik after canoeing the Yukon river to Dawson City and flew 3 hours to Horton Lake in a Cessna. Paddled 3 weeks down the Horton to Franklin Inlet.

Had to wait 3 extra days at the mouth of the river for the 1.5 hour flight back to Inuvik. Saw no one for 3 weeks.

Grizzly sow with 2 cubs(nearby) on the hill above us knocked over canoe one night(bright daylight). The whole trip with 21 campsites were the most remote in my life.
