That's the saddest little gopher I've seen.

Its official! Barring any lifechanging circumstances, Emily and I are going to Inuvik, NWT, Canada on the summer solstice. :)

Inuvik averages a high in the mid 60sF/high 10sC, a low of mid 40sF/7C during Solstice. Records are 90F/32C and 30F/0C. Totally doable. Winter Solstice: -15F/-26C for lows, -5F/-19C for highs. I'd LOVE to see 24 hours of night, but...yeah. Not happening.

It's also an eight day drive from Seattle, an almost 5000 miles round trip (And sixteen days driving!). Not sure the pickup would be able to handle that without trouble. She's reliable, but that's a strain. Still, rental car if all else fails. Or and overhaul of the pickup.

Wonder if we could do a side trip into Alaska....

Wow! Wish I could do something like this. ^_^

16 days in a truck, in the middle of nowhere? It's more fun than you'd think!

[pazi-ashfeather.livejournal.com]

I think it sounds pretty darn fun actually.

Tess thinks she might start eating people, though.

If you side-trip via Alaska, you'd be spending an extra two days driving.

Oh... and your cell phones won't be useful in most of Yukon/NWT.

I figured the phone wouldn't work through most of the trip. The BC interior is SPARSE, not to mention the Yukon and NWT. The last place I could reliably get service would be Whitehorse, YT, I think.

Oh, that looks amazing. I hope nothing gets in the way.
