We parted ways with the rest of the crew for this leg of our adventure.
And once again we set our compass to North of the arctic circle
We better get rolling. We've got about a 460 mile run to the Beaufort sea of the Arctic Ocean
The August days give us long hours of daylight for driving, exploring and fishing.
Just past Eagle Plains is where the man hunt for the mad trapper took place in 1931 - 32
We had two more ferry crossings
on the Peel river and Mackinzie river's
We fished for Grayling
And Beau once again out fished me.
The Rengling River
Happy to be in the North west territory walking the shores of Tuktoyaktuk.
My bus Tsunami didn't make it up here but Beau and I did!
Time for a dip in the Arctic ocean

And myself with Pingos in the background
We worked our way back down the Dempster, stopping at a few spots to fish for grayling and pike.
As for our usual, we made camp, played some catch and took a hike to explore the area
We followed some moose tracks, which led to some bear tracks we came over the top of the hill and
Beau spotted a fox den. Beau shared some smoked salmon
The next morning we continued our trek south and while crossing through the next valley
Beau spotted a family of grizzlies about a half mile off the road, feeding on blue berries and wrestling.
and here are a few more of the critters we had the chance to see
Feeding jays
