It rained most of the night. So things were wet and chilly this morning. We didn’t linger too long before heading on the road. That will certainly add another layer of mud to the cabin. We got some fuel, and we were on our way.I checked the FB page, and sure enough, some snow had… Read more

Buckle up – this is a long one. September 1st, 2026 This morning we embarked on the last leg to reach Tuktoyaktuk. We left Inuvik at around 11:00am to head straight north… in a roundabout way. The Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway opened November 15, 2017. It is the first and only public all-weather highway in Canada that… Read more

Rain it did, last night. We slept by the Rock River, and indeed it was a little fuller and rushing a little faster this morning. Given how much mud we accumulated, we managed to keep most of it outside quite well. That is, until Ryder went under the van, brushed some mud on himself (He’s… Read more

We had no real expectations for this trip other than to do something each of us has never done before. When I say that so far it has been an EPIC adventure; it has been that and then some.

One of the great things about travelling as we are is that there are no alarms in the morning or schedules we need to strictly adhere to. It was a chilly night last night, and the morning saw us layering up and turning the heat on when we started driving. It was raining a bit…… Read more

So I decided to pre-cook a few things so that we can just heat up dinner in the cabin should it be too chilly. When we left camp near Terrace, the temperature was 23 degrees. That… Read more

The weather has been really amazing so far, but you can feel the difference in temperature each day we go further north. Today we made it as far as Prince Rupert. We’re just on ‘this side’ of Rupert, so we haven’t gone into the city yet. Driving along Highway 16 is so incredibly beautiful. It’s… Read more

A very low-key day. We left Prince George and headed towards Smithers. The land has been really lush the last few hundred kilometers. It felt a bit strange when camp neighbours started a fire for the evening given the climate of the fire hazard and water restrictions at home. It’s just not that dry up… Read more

We woke to a fresh morning. Just a bit of rain fell through the night to calm the dust. We got ourselves together and headed into Prince George to run a few errands. As we get further north, we want to ensure we have all the needs (and maybe some wants), so I did a… Read more
