The Trip Of My Dreams

[yakers]

For any who are interested in our blog: Driving to the Arctic

The trip is even better than I dreamed of. Now all we have to do is get back home.

Way cool! How are the bugs?

Congrats! Hope you have an interesting itinerary for the trip back or it will feel twice as long as the ride up!

Not a problem overall. We had to get the canoe off shore a bit to get clear. In Inuvik there is enough of a breeze to keep them at bay but one campground was so bad I can see why thee caribou can actually go nuts. There, if I had a bare arm it would have looked like one pulsing mass of insects. And there are seasons without mosquitos, like winter, which may not be a good travel solution.
