Inuvik
to Klondike Junction
Under bright sunny skies we head back down the Dempster. Unfortunately weather up here
changes in a heartbeat so in minutes the bright blue we started with transitioned into glower-
ing grey with heavy rain melting the dirt roads back into slick greasy mud. The van was
slipping and sliding all over the place. The fog closed in and we couldn't see further than a
few feet ahead of us - but far enough to see a fellow crawling out of the mud at the side of
the road.
His motorcycle had tossed him then tipped end over end, landing 30 feet down the cliff. He
was very beat up but keeping his priorities straight. His baby was at the bottom of the cliff
and could we help him drag her back up? So we got out our towing equipment and got to
work. I would have given up after five minutes but it was a guy thing I guess. He and Steve
worked at it for an hour and finally dragged that sucker - a huge BMW up the cliff and onto
its feet.
