Iqaluit

Written by:

Adam and I had the opportunity to go to Iqaluit (Nunavut) for a couple of days for a union meeting, which has a very different feel to it than Inuvik. Despite being further South, it is much colder and more barren. Here are some excerpts from our adventures:

2022 Update…

Written by:

Hi y’all, long time no update. COVID restrictions lifted in 2022, which means that we took a LOT of vacations out of the North. Australia, Canmore, BC road trip, Iceland, Yellowknife, Uruguay, Panama, and Ottawa. Here are some excerpts of what we got up to while up North:

Sledding
Lost of skiing
Skating on the ice road
SCUBA diving in a hole in the ice
Cameron Falls in the spring… looks very different than in the summer

There was quite a bit of flooding in 2022, so Sam and I packrafted the local Boot Lake hiking trail:

We also paddled all the way to the pingos this summer
Adam and I ran another murder mystery at the greenhouse

We also did a short road trip through Alaska: from Whitehorse down to Skagway (where we took the White Pass Railway), then by ferry over to Haines, and back through the Yukon with some white-water rafting, past Kluane and back into Alaska to go over the Top of the World Highway. We went through all four Alaska road borders.
