Embleton House Bed and Breakfast Yellowknife

... it at the campsite, but if we had a car and had known, we could've had all the pallette wood we wanted. After that, we went for some arctic char sushi downtown and Keith had a pint at the "best" pub in town. Not exactly so good. Both of our cameras were broken, so we stopped in the mall to ask if they could be fixed. Of course they said no way, they're toast, you better buy a new one. So that's what Keith did. We ...

... metal rockin' chick, who moved to Yellowknife a few years ago. She said she would never go back. <br><br>OK OK OK, Keith has insurance and I don't, so he drove. We went and bought some lunch, then we went straight to that art gallery, and I bought the northern lights painting I wanted before. Next on the agenda was finding the END OF THE HIGHWAY. This is the most north you can get on any Canadian road, so we had to go there. We found the Ingraham Trail and took it straight to the end ...

Bald Eagle!! My first Eagle!! White feathered head and brown body, think shoulders flying straight over Yellowknife River with an immensely wide wing span! This morning was warm and glorious with sunshine as we started roadtrip early to Prelude lake. *** We've passed Cassidy Point, on Prosperous Lake. There are so many lakes some arent even named. Prelude Lake is ...

Skins for sale! Beaver pelts for $200, red fox and arctic fox hides for $199.99! You don't see that in the regular conveneince store. We ate at Sushi North for lunch - had a speciality arctic char roll and nigiri. The day has been warm and breezy with full sunshine. It should be nighttime now but we just climbed some rocks by a lake and saw a rainbow and now we're about to eat dinner at Sam's Monkey Tree. So much nature ...

... Alaska, Northern Alberta, and Nunavik. I went to the coaches meeting to meet the coaches and get a handle on the pronunciation ofsome of the athlete's names. Monday: First day of racing. Lots of racers and coaches on the trails with a ton of excitement. Today was a classic day so the skiers used classic technique. Some great young skiers skied their hearts out today. There were quite a few DQ's due to missed start times and ...

... angels' (honestly!) who showed up at exactly the minute I needed help,whether it was taking me to the hospital emergency in Slovenia or helping me find a tuk tuk in Bangkok, or just crossing the streets of Hanoi and Saigon. People often ask me if I was scared this year travelling by myself and I can honestly say I was never scared! I am not sure why I wasn't but I think I just thought things work out and the atmosphere was never scary - even walking ...

... or drive up the highway about 200 km and then turn around. Speaking of gasoline, I often wondered what I would have done if I would have been driving a high powered BMW that requires premium gas. In many parts of Alaska and especially in the Yukon, only regular gas is available. It was already a bit of a problem with the Volvo since it uses a mid-grade blend which was almost never available. Perhaps using the mid-grade gasoline is not needed after all, as the ...

... about the day which was about to unfold. Having already driven one of Canada's great northern all-weather (gravel) highways, the Liard, I was now about to drive another, the Mackenzie Highway. The Mackenzie Highway starts in Grimshaw, Alberta and ends in Wrigley, NWT - a distance of 1,159 km. The 224 km section between Checkpoint Junction and the junction near Fort Providence is not paved and that was the part I was about to drive. The all ...

... rencontrée dans l'avion et qui m'a déposé à l'hôtel à 2h du matin avec son chum... les retards dans les avions, ça crée des liens.... :) Photos de Yellowknife (pour les novices, c'est dans les Territoires-du-Nord-Ouest, à 2h en avion au nord de Calgary... le grand nord canadien pratiquement la même latitude que Whitehorse dans le Yukon en fait) Comme je suis arrivée à 2h30 du mat, inutile de vous dire que j'ai rien vu du tout de ...

What can we say - it was soooo nice to be home and see Oliver &amp; Tristan. They were Very, Very excited to see us as both of them Never Shut Up!!! Meow, meow, meow, bark, howl, howl, howl, bark, bark....pretty much sums it up. Was good to be home and see our snowmobiles ready for action! From sandy beaches to ...
