True north: Tucson to Inuvik, NWT (almost)
I set off to drive the Dempster Highway to Inuvik, NWT. Didn't make the last 100 miles of so as will be explained -- but it was a great trip anyway. Most of my photos and descriptions are on my web si...

Thanks all, for the many nice compliments. Just a few replies --
If you know a way to drive to Nanavuk, please let me know. Someday, I might take the road to Fort George, Quebec, on Hudson Bay. (but it looks like a long way between gas stations) Maybe Churchill, Manitoba - too bad there are no roads to there.
I like to find those extemporaneous spots -- and increase my chances by staying away from interstates and crowds.
See the web site link in my second sentence above.
I'll take my 3/4.
Of what 'mysterious' do you refer, Eric? That's the time I had, and the place I wanted to see. (and I had already put it off a year)
We will meet up somewhere, sometime jefe -- maybe even by plan!
Thanks, but you (and others) accord me far greater credit that is due. My 'skill' is primarily in taking a lot of pictures and saving only the better ones. I try a few different exposures, but don't 'Fujify' the results (except for my signature photo).
Right you are, Sue - of course. Double dumb of me since I had a picture of the 'Five Finger' sign to remind me where I was. Moving pretty fast that day.
Try as I might, I couldn't do anything about the overcast -- and using your angle didn't help.
As I mentioned on my web site, see Sue's excellent pictures on her site.

The only places in Canada we have not been is the Yukon, the North West Territories and Nunavik.

Excellent photos; some great camp locales, too!

So - just why was the Peel ferry not operating?

To us you missed the best 1/2 of the Dempster!

Why so mysterious? The trip looks amazing, but what possessed you to make such a long drive in such a short time?

Some very atmospheric pix here.
What a whirl-wind trip! You travel about like Jeanie and I do. No grass grows down there underfoot. It was nice being on different trips together.

I am envious of your photography skills. The pictures are really special.

Tombstone isn't visible in your picture.
