Great trip- all the adventure, ups & downs, meeting of folks, and scenery one could ask for in a trip- OR- in a report on a trip.
I know what it takes to write up, and post pix for a RR of this scope. Thanks for taking the time to relate your story.
I've really enjoyed reading it.
I must say (speaking for everyone, perhaps?) that the follow-up bit on Thomas was kinda anti-climatic. I'd surely love it if he wrote his bit up, threw in some of his own pix, and added them to your tale. That would definitely round things out nicely!
SO! Thomas, dude- IF you're reading this....
AHEM.
jus sayin.

Hello B. I have some good haunts down there. My hija is going to school down in GDL and we would have a great welcome there. We would be safer than safe. Tall J from the Full MoonCharlie,
Either back to the Alps, or down to old Mexico.
It can't be as dangerous as they say!
Looking forward to the report. FYI you can get ferry disturbances at any time. We went up on June 21 (the longest day is an excellent time to visit anywhere above the arctic circle) and there was still ferry trouble due to continued debris flow from break up. The Yukon and McKenzie river were at peak flow but there was a lot of rain that year.Hi folks -
Well, Team Chicago is going to try this again in late May 2016. Bullet points -
6. Timing - We're pushing our departure back a week to the end of May. The reasons for this are twofold - first I've been foiled in reaching Inuvik twice when the ferrys across the rivers on the Dempster have not been operating due to ice floes on the fast currents. Second, and related to the first item, I'm hoping that operating ferrys will mean operating Semi Truck traffic, which will substantially compact that abundant early season gravel to make for easier riding.
We may also be bringing a newbie, Craig - a Canadian Expat, who can act as a translator as we cris-cross the width of Canada. ;-)
In 2014 we failed to reach several objectives - reaching Inuvik at the end of the Dempster - Taking the Ferry from Haines to Skagway - and riding out to Bella Coola in BC.
This will be my third and probably final effort. I'll take input and suggestions from everyone.
Thanks
Bryan
Loved your report. Well crafted funny and very engaging. Well done. I've only one lingering question, why the car tire?
Anything I've read or been told was this is a bad idea.
