From the Border to the Top. A Trip to the Top of Canada Begins. Destination Adventure

Traveling in the Motorhome was a great experience, but it was always limiting for access to locations. Two years in a row I went north to Alaska, bypassing the Dempster Highway, and forfeiting my chance to enter the Arctic Circle. With the new rig, the Arctic is a challenge we can easily handle, so we are northbound to the top. Starting from the Canada USA border, we will be making our way through BC, Yukon Territory and finishing in the NWT at the Arctic Ocean.
I have some planned locations and adventures, which I am very excited to dive into, but I am going with a loose schedule so that we wont be missing any opportunity that comes our way.
Here's to another amazing travel season, and more stories to be told.

Dustin, my wife of almost 50 years and I have done this trip three times. Cassiar-Tuk twice and length of Alcan-Tuk once. I am under orders, we will not be doing it again, but let me tell you I will be with you all the way. Let the Journey be as important as the Destination.

@Destination_Adventure Ай бұрын

Thank you very much. I’m stoked to finally be able to cross this one off the list.

@metaxaanabeer Ай бұрын

@@Destination_Adventure You referred to it as an expedition, it sure is closer to that than a camping road trip. Almost anywhere, stop and safely park and walk away from the road, over the rise and just sit in silence and marvel at the vastness. Look out for any dark dots making their way towards you, those would be bears. Spend your money, your 20 bucks makes a real difference in the villages you will pass through. God, I wish I was allowed to return, lol. Not many 70 year old women want to endure the trip. sorry, I prattle on...

It's definitely the journey that makes it worth it!❤

@montyforster3370 Ай бұрын

Boat launch. From there you launch and run out to the point and around back in to Quauccet ....spelling wrong...and let the adventure begin. The village is fly in boat in only and when gramma taight up there in the 60s we would hear the stories of the wild and crazy bush pilots that would deliver her. Fascinating history and also of one seal pup adopted there. Good luck and Bon Voyage pal

I'm an electrician, when you go through a wall, especially a metal one, you want to use a plastic or rubber gromit to keep from rubbing. A metal pass through tube is also a good solution, silicone isn't enough to keep it from wearing through the insulation of the wire.

@havnfncali1 Ай бұрын

I wanted to say the same thing. Needs rubber pass through bushings. The first trip will rub right through that wiring and hopefully pop a fuse is the best outcome.

Here's a self sustainability tip: eat lots of pike and lake trout. Or walleye or even grayling up there. We will keep cooked fish in a bag in a cool dark location for up to 24hrs and cook it again when we're ready to eat it again, which can be essential if you want to eat big fish. Rapala X Rap Perch, Mepps & Blue Fox spinners, Schishimi Togarashi and fresh garlic, sesame oil, chili sauce, soy sauce, and tons of canola oil and a load of salt should fill out your arsenal.
