Great info, Jamawani! Thanks. That link is much easier to read. If things dont change too much this summer, because of the ferry sinking, and I can stick to my original plans, I think the North is on the planning books for '07. Do you know what the road west from Dawson into Alaska is like? I realize the Dempster could be a great big ugly but I am kinda looking at it as more of a challenge, a goal. I couldnt go to Dawson and then pass on Inuvik. Would likely fly out of Inuvik.
Sounds like the two people missing on the ferry did go down with it. No sign of them turning up after nearly 48 hours. Strange, too, as it took an hour to go down. Lots of time for an orderly evacuation and for everyone to know what is going on.
Hopefully they get the little boat running on this route soon.
