Here we are, I just landed back on the mainland, it's starting to warm up, and I'm almost ready for the next adventure. The plan is to drive from Vancouver, BC to Tuktoyaktuk, NT. According to google, if I were to drive straight there it would be about 4,560km and 54 hours one way, though I'm sure I will make some detours along the way.

I need to take care of a few things before I can head out. First stop is getting my heater maintenance done, then off to get the van maintenance done. At the ford dealership I ended up having a meeting outside on a very nice standing desk. After this I head off to Abbotsford to pick up some solar components to do some rewiring there, I need to switch them from being wired in series to parallel.

Before leaving Vancouver, I needed to try Tatchan Noodle which I had seen while on the island and could finally try.

Of course, I needed to stop by the drive in Langley, it was open! They were playing Mario and Creed III, so not the most appealing line up for me, but I never pass on the drive in experience and I got to watching the rocky movies (The first one is great, the second one is good... the rest lost me :))

Now that I have all the chores done (I also ended doing a bit of re-plumbing for my water fill which was leaking :( ), and I picked up things in Abbotsford, I'm untethered and free to go! I don't have a timeline, and progress will likely be slow at first because it might still be cold. But it's time to get my mosey on! For this weekend, I drove to Hope and stopped at Bridal falls, and Flood falls for some really nice short hikes
