Where The Highway Ends: Road To Yellowknife

could you hack H One day in the South Country but not in the North you will be frozen and at night we wander around Yellow Knife at night we meet Graham and Adam and I am Luke and we head to the Canadian Arctic, to the Territories Northwest so here's how the idea started what happened Graham was in Fort McMurray Adam was in Canmore and I was in St Thomas Ontario to the Northwest Territories oh yeah 6 days from now picking up that guy with a camera up I had two flights and Adam picked me up at the Calgary Airport and we drove to Fort McMurray the next morning, we packed up Graham's truck with all our gear strapped on, the extra Jerry cans and we were ready to hit the

road

, stopping at the yellow night, yeah,

where

the

road

ends

, and we're leaving and We're leaving, we just left Fort McMurray um, I don't know, it was around 11:00 leaving for M Murray.

I saw the tar sands for the first time, they're a hot topic in Canada these days, yeah, so the paved road. I just switched and now we are driving through Frozen MUSC. How far have we passed to MC Murray at this point, about 100km north? I think that's okay, so we cross the ice over the Firebag River heading north. We are making progress. I really like it. We are only navigating this road so far and it is smooth and winding and goes up and down Che like sleeping outside in the snow, since I can't, don't do it, that's the plan.

You could holiday with HCK in the South Country, but not in the North. You'll be frozen, of course, but you can't do that here. Half an hour. You can take. We're not just in the Arctic guys, not really yet, we still have to find a place

where

we can. build an igloo and camp out tonight so it's getting darker and we don't know where we're going to spend the night and we'll probably hit -30 oh but we fuel up with some coffee and catch up on some Mad Men local oh I'm coming come on it was getting late and we stopped at the campground for the night yeah so we got off the

highway

towards Fort Smith and ended up going down a small road that didn't have enough room to turn around and there's pretty deep snow and we actually had to go through it in the 4x4 to set up camp here now we're just sick like we had a good exposure in the trees Burger wrappers, yeah, we're looking towards Pine Lake, we just fried some. burgers at the Bri, yes, beer, we're about to spend the night with intention, it's like snow, but it's full of vitamins, the lettuce is completely frozen, it's like eating French fries, yes, one good thing about the cold is that no bugs, peak, beer, freeze and even though we were high enough in Latitude we didn't see the aurora, it's 4:30am. and I'm somewhere in the northeast corner of Alberta Wood Buffalo National Park and I had to leave the other two at the tent and go inside. the truck because I have a shooting pain in my feet from the cold, I know Alberta woohoo.

I just saw our campsite in daylight for the first time and this stunning sunrise rising over Pine Lake is incredible, so here we are. Just packing up, had a nice night in Pine Lake, beautiful day again, all is well, welcome to the Northwest Territories, welcome to the Northwest Territories, bro, yeah, we're having coffee in Fort Smith before we head out and continue on to There is River and Yellow Knife, yes Yellow Knife is a 740k track. Totally, what's going on? Just filling up the Beast there and we head to Hay River, 270 km, we see a little cut in the right place, 25, so we stopped at the little falls of the Buffalo River.

I took a look still pretty cold, there's no war salute, gram, salute, salute, Adam, yeah, beef stew, maple syrup, beans and potatoes, steak and gravy in the Northwest Territory, yeah, we found a place to park and sleep on the side of the road between Hay River and Yellow Knife we'll probably all end up sleeping in the truck tonight, it's the next morning and we're trying fruitlessly to make any kind of breakfast because - 29 makes it very difficult to cook anything, so I think we're just going to have to hold on to the yellow knife, so we crossed the McKenzie River over the Dead Chill Bridge and now we're headed to Fort Providence.

We just saw some bison on the side of the road. We are getting some. photos of bison in the snowbank just relaxing I can't imagine lying in the snow like this all winter. I am cold to SOA for 5 minutes. There's a little ice on the road at -34, so we just got to Amarillo. knife and we're looking for a place to say tonight and a good place to find some food and hopefully the northern lights go out tonight because they haven't for the last two, but maybe tonight will be the night, there's not much space, this stop, stop, stop. stop, I entered our hotel in Cuchillo Amarillo and the steering felt quite difficult I noticed that some oil was coming out.

I think something that has to do with the power steering is that the power steering is the area where we just got to our hotel room, but because we had hotel difficulties before, it is not the largest room in the hotel, as you can see, what do you think will be cozy? Yeah, we made it, yeah, all of us in this little room, check him out when he said they gave us the cute, cute, sweet, we got one. one big bed for three one big bed for the three of us so I took a shower and felt absolutely amazing after spending the last 3 or 4 days in the same clothes, probably information you didn't want to know now that you feel like it hit you.

We're looking for the Wild Cat Cafe, is it around? We're wandering around the Yellow Knife at night and then it's right there. I don't remember closing che che to the yellow knife to the knife. This is an excellent slave whitefish with maple glaze. very very very sweet maple glaze Regards Greetings Greetings Greetings guys, greetings are here, go outside and just bre. I hope someone comes and gives me a bill like here's a bill like you, you took like five dollars, except you're breathing our air. We saw you breathe twice like we just spent the last one like I don't know 6 hours driving through trees weird here, I mean people like all their trucks and you leave them running all the time it's like, oh yeah, it's going crazy because of That's what you have to think about because if you don't leave it running, it might not start.

I know otherwise he will probably die. In fact, we had our truck running all night. Don't tell them no, it was working. That is a problem. I'm Junior. so I don't mind being controversial we camped we slept in the van last night we like it I wanted to sleep in the IG you slept yeah that's right we were halfway between here and hey River so I just got back to the hotel after . Having a good time at the pub with Adam and Graham and some locals on BART was great. He was telling us stories and giving us ideas about the yellow knife and, uh, I'm feeling exhausted, so I'm going to hit the hay, Adam. and Graham are still in town last time I heard they were hungry and looking for burgers good night we are just packing to leave the hotel room we have to go down it's almost noon okay we just left the entrance , let's get into the most North Tim Hortons in the world is probably like this, unless there's another one in town, oh co, on the big lake, there I'll only take half of K on this side of the lake , it's pretty deep there.

Medium truck lake Yes, medium, okay on our first day in Amarillo Knife we ​​wanted to get out and see the surrounding area. We are just starting out on the Ingram Trail, leaving Yellow Knife and will go ice driving and ice fishing on some lakes. The first attempt at ice fishing was not a success. so we cook burgers again, how do you feel about cooking at 34? Feel very warm, crispy, Yum Burger wraps. I think you think ziz is having the same thing. Here's how to make burgers in the ne3 that night on a frozen lake. we were in for a treat, yeah, they're just moving, the northern lights are going out right now, it's crazy, they're going from one side of the sky, right above our heads, to the other, and I took some. time lapses but I'm absolutely frozen my camera sounded like it was running in slow motion there's so much frost here the shutter was clicking click but I got some amazing shots and lights.

I'm so excited, well that was it. It was amazing overall, I'm still off camera, I work right now, it's really like 9, 9:30 an hour ago. I'd say 9:30 was something like yeah, it's 10:30, now we're brushing our teeth and getting ready for another night. in the truck I just slept last night pretty good accelerated, very good in the McDonald's truck for breakfast, yeah, laptop. Gun club, it's in full swing, there's gra there playing, we're being very productive and getting our show, getting our exercise.
