I was up in Dawson for the second time in June. I see your last name is Loseth, my family has ties to the Loseths that had settled in the Crowsnest Pass area.
@@TestDontguess , I met Frank(?) in the mid 90’s when we moved to BC. We were invited to a family reunion there but didn’t make it. I’m sure there’s a relation if not at least roots in the same town in 🇳🇴! Dawson was a cool place
This was so interesting to watch and very similar (especially the mud) to what we experienced minus the snow. We had originally planned to be on the Dempster the same time as you but we moved our plans up a week. We left the Dempster on 27 Aug. Where did you eat in Tuk? Was it Grandma's kitchen? The food looked amazing and how wonderful it must of been to listen to her stories. That is the one thing we did not experience unfortunately.
@@cyndihardy4550 did you experience the end of bug season? I think I only got two mosquitoe bites the entire trip! Grandma was out of town for two days but we heard about “Auntie Eileen” who can feed up to 8 in her home. A very fun experience. It was our first time that far north, where else did you get to?
@@Danno133 I was not aware of Auntie Eileen's place. Luckily we did not have any bugs on the trip. We ended up camping at Tombstone on our way there and back - both were unplanned but once we saw the area we couldn't resist. What a beautiful campground. Tombstone National Park was magical. My favourite spot was the NWT/Yukon border followed closely by the Arctic Circle. We will be going back to the Yukon because it gets into your soul and calls you back but I don't think we will venture back into the NWT. I left my heart in the North...still think about it everyday. I found an amazing quote that describes how I feel after this epic trip ..."Forever ruined for the ordinary.." that pretty much sums it up.
Was a pleasure initiating you both into the Sourtoe Cocktail club, cheers ~ Toe Captain Dan 👨🏼✈🥃🦶🏼
@@danthevandan , it was a definite highlight! Thanks for the experience!
