thank you Robert for staying up all night to get those amazing images while most of us were snoozing..... boy I think you got lucky leaving your pump on. That could have drained your fresh tank, which could hurt the pump or overflowed a grey tank as well.... Glad there was nothing overly serious there. As always, safe travels.......

Traveling the north without darkness give sleeping a whole new perspective. Lol! Thank you to both of you for sharing your gorgeous sunrise abd sunset. Best one ever Robert. And oh my goodness, the moose. When we came up over one sharp corner at the top of a high hill, there looking into our brown eyes, was a moose's brown eyes looking into ours. They are such a glorious animal. Y0ur share was indeed magnificent. Our hearts to both of yours. ❤carolyn & colin

This is a great video Robert! I was up there the first week in June 2023 and spent the night alone at the 86 mile overlook. It was all snow, 4x4, and made the first tracks of the year going up. Lots of birds and no mosquitoes. The most peaceful rock quarry I’ve ever camped at-with amazing views. The call of those grey-cheeked thrushes will always remind me of the arctic circle. New subscriber, thank you.

I worked at a gold mine near Livengood in the early 1980’s. The town was named after Jay Livengood, one of two miners who discovered a large placer gold deposit in the area back in 1914.

The Dalton Highway? More like the Dalton Mudway in parts, I'd say...glad you're doing the driving! All things considered your rig seems to have survived the nasty road conditions pretty well. I'm really loving the drone footage. What a grand adventure this is turning out to be, really looking forward to the next episodes .Until next week, happy trails!

Hi Robert…Great memories for me. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s been a minute! I have driven it two different times, but only as far as Coldfoot. I have always wanted to drive it all the way up to Prudhoe Bay. On my bucket list. I have pics of me and a late good friend of mine at the Arctic Circle. April of 1993 was the first time. What an adventure it was. Too much to say here. But thank you for bringing back the memories and letting me ride along with you. ❤

There are so many great pull offs to camp. The videos and pictures are great but nothing is better than being there. I worked along this road for 15 years driving hundreds of thousands of miles. Everyday is different. We would hike and fish after work in the summer and snowshoe under the northern lights in the winter. Marion Creek has some nice waterfalls if you hike up to them. It’s a few miles and the trail is on the south side of the creek.

Had a tax client that spent every summer in Circle. There was a group that camped there every summer. They had a big generator that they ran 16 hours a day for their power and they fished, panned for gold, and just enjoyed the isolation of the area.

Hey Patrick, those batts are very cost effective compared to battleborn. We just spent 3 weeks Drycamping in OBX, luckily we had awesome sun most days, we never went below 60 percent over 23 days. Most days hit 100% by 4 PM . We always shut off the inverter overnight, but still lose 4 percent overnight. Our big draw is our desktop computer with two monitors and a 60tb nas running, so we only edit video when the sun was out. I like the way you talked about the usage and showed updated screens from victron app. 600ah is a nice. Ank. Larry
