On the Road to Inuvik: Resources

The following resources have been supplied by friends of the trip:

• The Official Press Release -- Ron Lussier

• An Insider's Guide to Inuvik -- Jennifer Branch

• The Land of the Midnight Sun (a travelogue) -- Harry Yates

Here are some related web pages:

• The Inuvik home page

  A "guide to work, play and travel in the Inuvik region of Canada's Western Arctic." The site contains travel and weather information, maps and photos, a calendar of events, and a local business directory.

• Inuvik weather report

• Northern News Services

  Publishers of the Inuvik Drum!

• Arctic Summer

  We met Paul Gilland in Inuvik. He made the trip separately, on an old Honda motorcycle. His page has tons of photos, and is very much worth a look-see.

Here are friendly people to call for information:

The following links may also come in handy:

British Columbia Tourism Centre
B.C. Ferries

Includes lots of information, including schedule information for all routes.

Alaska Marine Highway System

Includes schedule and pricing information.

Yukon Tourism
Yukon Web

Yup, an internet service provider in the Yukon. When you think about it, they probably need the Internet up here more than I need it in the Silicon Valley!

Whitehorse Veggie Restaurants

The World Guide to Vegetarianism page on Whitehorse. Isn't the Web wonderful???

Western Arctic tourist brochure

Shows a Vanagon Westfalia with a stone guard. It would be a good idea to consider creating one of these for your bus! (This image is courtesy of Harry Yates.)

Bell's Alaska Travel Guide

Very detailed descriptions of highways and towns in Alaska, Yukon Territories, and Northern British Columbia. Worth checking out, definitely.

The Alcan rally

The AlCan rally is a modern event based on the original concept of rallying as a grand tour, motoring adventure, and a gentleman's sport. A competitive event that requires experience, good judgement & equipment, consistency, reliability and rescourcefulness, something bus drivers are known for. Traverses North America's most remote roads and climate extremes (-58 F in the 1990 event), from Seattle to Prudhoe Bay, in winter! Perhaps next year with a few Syncros?

The Alaska Ferry -- a travelogue

An interesting article by RVers Online.

A plea for modem access

Another interesting editorial from RVers Online discussing modem access in RV parks.
