Dempster highway report
Travelers taking the amazing ride from Dawson city to Inuvik NWT on the Dempster highway..I just got back from a quick blast from Montana to Inuvik. The road was in decent shape except for long sections of small round gravel. This stuff sneaks up on you and then look out. The section between the peel river ferry and the mackensie ferry was the ugliest. After the Mackensie river the road was good. Take your time and watch out. The good news is there wasn't any of the very sharp black shale this year. I still met lots of folks who had flats and about 1/3 of the people had fallen down. The solstice party at the arctic circle was great,dancing girls wearing snowshoes,live band, dancing wearing mosquitoe head nets.
