Finally, I can upload some pictures. Yes there are quite a lot, so i will keep the writing to a minimum. From Grande Prairie to Whitehorse. The beauty of our amazing country.
Beaver Lodge just past Grande Prairie.
Our first real camp spot. Between Fort St John and Watson Lake. Our friendly hitchhikers tent in the background.
Checking out the Buffalo from the roof of Kumu. Looking badass with the jerry cans.
Liard River Hot Springs. They were HOT! Such a beautiful spot, hopefully the first of many hotsprings along our journey.
Enjoying the heat and the smell of eggs!
One of the hundred buffalo pictures I have. Glorified cows really....
Filling up with the jerry cans. Much better than spending 1.60$ on gas at the small stations along the way.
At another wicked camp spot with Ryan and Toni. Whirlpool Canyon.
We made it to the Yukon! Incredible!

Hahahaha. Does anyone need serviced?
The crazy signpost forest! A must see for anyone passing through Watson Lake, YT
What are the chances? Bizarre!
Great camp spot in the Yukon. Andrew caught our dinner!!! It was delicious over the fire.
Our first bottle of wine on the trip. Courtesy of Sherry and Dave. Thank you!!
Carcross, just north of Skagway, enticing us to come back when the snow flies.
Carcross Desert. Apparently the 'Smallest desert in North America'. We say the jury is still out on whether it is truly a desert, but it was cool to see so far north none the less!
Camping on Lowes Lake. A friendly driver offered us directions to this great spot after we tried to check out his private driveway for a place to camp. A few minutes after getting there he came back with a bunch of wood so we could have a fire! A truly stunning area.
At the moment we are staying at Amanda and Chris's (friends of Andrew's from high school!) place just outside of Whitehorse while we do some experimental repairs on the van. Hopefully we can leave, although Whitehorse is really an amazing place. We have ran into some of the most helpful and friendly people here. They have left a great impression on me about the Territory of the Yukon.
Another funny story, as we were in the Home Hardware in Whitehorse, we hear "Hey!", and as we turn around we see Tony! A guy that we met last summer at our friend Kristen's cabin in the Shushwap. He lives in Vancouver so it was definitely a surprise to run into him in Whitehorse of all places! Just makes you realize what a small world we live in.
So far the trip has really been amazing, I cant believe that we have so much more to see and experience! Hopefully you can all send Kumu some loving vibes that we can get her back on the road today or tomorrow and we on our way to the top of the world!
Till next time.

ReplyDeleteI sent lots of happy vibes from mount assignboine. Can't believe it has taken us so long to back pack. It was amazingly amazing. Although my feet are sore now. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
