Great video, brings back so many memories. I spent about 15 years in Yellowknife in the 70’s and 80’s, mostly living in Old Town directly across from Ragged Ass Road. I would look out my kitchen window while doing the dishes and occasionally spot a brave tourist trying to pry the street sign off from the pole. Eventually the city got smart and welded the sign in place, leaving notice that Ragged Ass Road signs could be purchased at city hall. Anyways, I miss being out on the frozen lake in the winter and just being amazed at the northern lights. And don’t get me started on the fishing!

Just got back from Yellowknife. I was in YK 4 hours ago, now back in Vancouver. On a tour to Cameron Falls, our guide highlighted the arsenic that is being threatened to be released due to the melting of permafrost. Crazy Vancouverite that I am, I went for a swim in Great Slave Lake. The water was not as cold as I initially thought it would be 😅

I worked summers, when I was a college student, at a smelter in Montana that would occasionally get a shipment of ore concentrates that arrived in small tin barrels that were marked "Yellowknife, Northwest Territories." That ore was so rich that it was kept in a building called the "high grade shack," and more than once I was told to just stay there for 8 hours to make sure no one took any of the stuff. So you-all up there must have been digging up some juicy sweet ore.

Going across the ferry would've been ok too. I wonder if the permafrost has warped the road much going into Yellowknife ? Must be a pain the butt for truckers with their semi's ! I must say driving into this metropolis in the middle of nowhere was an interesting experience !
