I'm taking a ride with my fruit man
10.03.2011
Hello friends.
Here I am writing to you my last update from Inuvik.
I will be going down the Dempster highway for the next 22 hours with Bill the fruit man in his big truck.
We'll be taking the ice road and hopefully marvelling at the northern lights as we go tonight.
We're driving right through a big swath of it, so we'll see if it works out.

I gave a bunch of useful stuff away to Kira and I condensed all the rest into a rollie, a backpack and a rubbermaid box.
I'm spending a weekend in Whitehorse and then Greyhounding it to the B-More. Some of the buses have wifi, so I'm sure I'll have time to update as we go.
Yippee Skippy!
