Cross Country to Montana and Wyoming... (Very pic heavy)
September into October 2019 It’s impossible to go online these days in the world of overlanding and social media without being inundated with beautiful pictures of built up rigs and backdrops of majestic mountains. Being born and raised in New York, this world feels completely out of touch. For...

This is a dream for me. Thanks for posting it!
I just read "Kayaks to the Arctic" by EB Nickerson. Did you make it to Tuk? Any write-up of the trip posted anywhere?

Yes, we made it from Hay River to Tuktoyaktuk in 44 days, 1950 kms/1200ish miles. We landed on the pebble beach at the village campsite which I am sure many on Eportal will recognize it if they have been to Tuk. Hardest parts were the logistics, the river itself only has a couple sets of straightforward class two rapids and the flat water on Great Slave Lake and the Arctic Ocean is pretty straight forward if it is calm. We had a couple of down days due to wind and got hammered by cross waves on the last day on the ocean. Here is a pic of our very cold finish. The pingos on the horizon are worth the trip to Tuk alone.
ABLEGUY mentioned that he had also read the Nickerson book, sounds like a good one. He also gave me some coaching on posting a trip blurb but much of this posting stuff doesn't seem to stick to me too long...... I will keep trying....... cheers

Northern Idaho, NE Washington (I think) and pockets throughout BC are the home to Interior Temperate Rainforests. These pockets of old growth trees are quite rare and consist primarily of Western Red Cedar, Western Hemlock and Douglas Fir as well as, a plethora of neat undergrowth vegetation, not the least of which is Devil's Club. Because the canopy is so high and the trees so large, sunlight is usually challenged to get thru the mass. When it does, the results can be very interesting due to highlights, shadows and the irregular lighting of mosses, lichen and the trees themselves. As I look through my window, our landscape is currently one large flat smoke haze, nothing like the attached shots.....
