Wow, business must have been good!!! :giggle: Closest I got to one of those diamonds was in the Territorial Museum on this last trip! Yes, the old world is shrinking indeed. You probably know this, but some of those Diamond mines are starting to near the end of their productive/profitable...

Bill I spent lots of time working in Rae-Edzo when I lived in Yellowknife but never got into the the communities north of the north arm. Yes, I was very impressed with Whati just as a result of looking around and chatting with a few folks. Bechecho hasn't changed much though, other than the...

Continued from Part 1 - Paddling Overlanding - Part 2 (the header is kind of an insult to real overlanders as this is a description of a new 450 million dollar road, albeit gravel, that you could shoot pool on if you were good....) The new road is dubbed NWT highway 9 and named the "Tlicho...

NB: I hit the EP Photo cap with this Post. So I will send this first (the "paddling" Part and then send the "Overlanding" as Part 2) If that makes any sense at all...... We are just back from a couple of months of exploring the NWT by both kayak and with our truck and camper. I thought...

Yes, they have things going very nicely in their operation and the CAD will be a big help to the likes of me. I was born and raised in Alberta and was a bit hurt by your comment but I am fine now!! (it does appears that I don't seem to live there any more!!) :giggle: Yesterday, we came down...

Just back from two months in the NWT, including a 4+ week paddling trip in the SE Arm of Great Slave Lake (Ft. Resolution to Lutsel K'e and back). We saw a considerable numbers of Muskox, including both lone bulls and maternal mixed herds with several nursing newly born. Shot with a waterproof...

We stopped in to see Andrea and Dallas at Pronghorn EV in June on our way up to the NWT. We were very impressed with all aspects of their operation and as well, they are just super nice folks. Probably saw your rig on the floor in their shop.

"Don't read too much into the Crown Royal bag. It's for my car wash change." PC06 Having been a Canadian cop for nearly 30 years, how many times do you think I have heard that very same line??? :giggle: :giggle:

1 US gallon equals 3.78 liters. Today, $1 USD gets you $1.28 CD. So, if you round off L/USG to 3.75 and the exchange rate to ball park 25% more for your dollar over ours, basic high school math (the only kind I know..) should take care of it and get you pretty close. For a long time, gas in...

We use a GSI folding silicone filter holder/(only with Melita bamboo filters) in the camper, MSR Dragonfly/MSR single cup reusable "Mugmates" when backpacking/paddling. We drink a local Kootenays grind when around our general area and usually Starbucks Fivebucks brand Pikes Place from big box...

And, after a hard day of wandering around the RCMP training/heritage site in Regina, when you are thirsty and have the munchies, just East on Dewdney Ave is Bushwakkers in the old warehouse district. It is a highly acclaimed and much awarded Saskatchewan pioneer Brewpub. Superb beer and food...

Man, I had to have a nap after reading your itinerary. :giggle: When we were drunk teenagers, after partying we used to go and swing on the Souris bridge to try and make each other sick. I am sure all the barf has all been cleaned up by now (55+ years of UV exposure..) and nowadays, they no...

Trackhead Nice work on the interior. Did you go with just epoxy over the foam (guessing the pink or purple hard stuff from the local building supply) or did you add a layer of matting? How has it worked out so far? Yes, Monstaliner, I see it as the great equalizer............ (I equate it...

Just back from the Bella Coola Valley/Chilcotin Plateau. Weather was way nicer there than at home! Always love my 400 ponies and the j brake for the "Hill" :)

Ditto on yours. I still lust after your exterior Monstaliner :)

It saddens me that the Expedition Portal Administrators have not done away with this thread. It is bad enough that my own government has allowed Russian national members of this expedition to walk away from an overt violation of our closed airspace with a Fine. This group was THEN allowed to...

"* NEW IN BOX * Deep Cycle Battery $300.00 OBO **Pick up only." - (FBMPlace) In all fairness, they didn't state, "NEW IN NEW BOX" , but Geesh, looks like this box was dragged through a keg of nails, while the "new" battery sat idly by, watching...

Taken yesterday, ghostly blue ice still hanging on......

It may not be dripping in irony but, I do find it fun that this discussion about using bad language includes the word STERN .........

Great report you guys! Too bad about the Loppet, I was looking forward to hearing all about it.
