Remembering the Year, looking forward

It’s been awhile since I have taken the time to sit down to write anything on here, and now I actually have the time to do so.

Looking over this last year, I managed to do a lot more than I was expecting in some instances, but a lot less than I was expecting in others.

For example, while I made my trip up North, I missed out on a few area’s that I really wanted to spend more time with.  Such as the Columbia Ice Fields and more along the Cassiar Highway.

The Ice Fields was cause I was rushed to get back on time with my trip. I needed to either make up a day at the beginning of it, or make it up the day before the Dust to Dawson.

I’m very fortunate that I made the decisions that I did.

If I had waited, I’d never had met Doug in Dawson Creek, which would have played a part in me not meeting Geoff in Whitehorse.

The highlight of my trip, was meeting these two fine people, and I am very fortunate I did.

The second part of my trip that I missed out on, was Inuvik. This would not be terrible, as I instead spent more time with Geoff on our way up to Prudhoe Bay. This would not only be the highlight of my trip, but a part of the adventure that I will look back on for years to come. I don’t think I could have asked for a better outcome of changing plans.

The ride up to Prudhoe, stepping foot in the Arctic Ocean, and the ride back to Fairbanks would be a week that I remember the most about my trip.

Tick Tock Tick Tock – The Clock Counts Down

  • Arctic Expedition 2010 Departure:

    19 months, 21 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes, 26 seconds ago

  • It is just around the corner!

    Less than 7 days remain until my departure on my trip to the North leaving from Washington State, through Beautiful British Columbia, swinging by to visit Alberta before hitting the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

    Swinging around to Say Hello to Alaska, then make my way down the Stewart Cassiar Highway before finally arriving back in Seattle some 3 to 4 weeks later.

    6 months of planning still has me scrambling for time, as it ticks away!

    Stay Tuned for the Adventure!
