The trip to the Arctic Circle was a
real neat experience and did we take the photos to document our
visit. We clicked away for over an hour and the official
photogaphers did some very cool shots of all of us. Each separate
vehicle and their driver and codriver were also taken by the photo
crew.
Then began the process of retracing our
journey of Friday to almost the beginning of the Dempster Hwy, again.
We stopped 60 miles outside of Dawson City for a camping night by
the Klondike River at an auxillary camping spot with only
porta potties, so it was a bit of a dirty overnight. The bonus was
the river and many had fun trying their hand at fishing; we found
fresh bear tracks along the sand near our ambulance, too! David took a
photo to prove that bears were in the vicinity if not in our sight
lines. It seems that the convoy beginning unit is loud enough to
spoil the chances of the back units from actually viewing too much
wildlife during the driving day.

I was just catching up on your adventures. You must have posted about 4 days' worth all at once. Were there supposed to be pictures, since none came with the posts.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I finished your posts and up at the top of the screen there is a direction to "Next Post." I thought it would be your next post, but it was some other blogger's blog. It was just so good humored, that I am going to go back to it every once in a while to get the Zovya/Sophia taste out of my mind. Try it: "Life's a Funny Thing" by Stacey. It's about her family and their dogs. Start with the earliest blog and work forward so you won't have to keep repiecing it together from last to first. I think you'll smile.
