After stopping by the market in whitehorse again and stocking up on groceries I headed out. First stop was only about 3 hours away where I met up with Jen who I met in Whitehorse and her friend with their 3 very energetic dogs. For all the energy they were also super well behaved as shown with them all waiting patiently for their treats :)
This was the first midnight sun I saw, the sun did set shortly after midnight, but the second picture here of the sunset was right around midnight.
The next day I drove the rest of the way to the start of the dempster, where I actually did drive up a little bit for this camp spot along the river with an old crane in the woods, but we are going to ignore that fact because then I went to Dawson City the next day and THEN my drive on the dempster began :D
After filling my belly with tacos in Dawson City, I'm back at the start of the Dempster! This is the last time I will see pavement (well, there is a small section of pavement in Inuvik, but it's only little). 887km left to get to Tuktoyaktuk!
