We took a ferry--and the captain really ferried--across the mighty Mackenzie River. This river freezes over in the winter.

Believe it or not, they are constructing a bridge to cross this river. Not sure how they figured out how to do this, given the fact that the river is frozen solid. Can't imagine that the bridge will be too happy during the ice break-up period in the spring...

We headed north to Yellowknife on the straightest road I have ever traveled. We saw wood bison (there is a large sanctuary on the side of road for about 200 miles), sand hill cranes, and even a baby brown bear. You are going to have to take my word for it; I did not want to stop to take a photo, and I think you might understand why...

Yellowknife is a great town!! We set up camp and planned to spend the next day exploring and doing some not-so-Zen motorcycle maintenance.
Odometer: 2591
Lots of waterfalls. I think you should have brought a kayak.
ReplyDeleteummmm, and the map? I mean the photos are cool and all ;-), but no map means I have to go look these places up to really understand your progress. I'm really lazy. That's why I'm following you guys rather than diys.
Glad to hear the DR650 is purring.
Nice posts Anne! Keep those photos coming big size if you can - More pics of the riders/story tellers in the photos too! I could also use a cheese sandwich while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteWay to crank out the kilometers you guys.
Hi you guys. Finally figured out how to do this comment thing. Have been having such a good time following you. Photos (which are great) of BEARS make me nervous, however. Animal Planet channel has given me way to much to think about!!!! Look forward to your next posting.
