52 - Back to Inuvik

On Sunday we arrived back in Inuvik and we caught the tail end of the 60th anniversary of the town of Inuvik. They had a big fish fry for everyone. A hunk of beautifully fried and freshly caught whitefish, corn on the cob and a baked potato- FREE. What a generous community to feed everyone like that. We went to the library (only place in town with free wifi) and surfed the internet for a bit. We ended up staying one more night. We also ended up meeting our friend Lonnie again, he was at the same campground. We hung out with him and listened to his wonderful stories. Finally, we went to bed at around midnight, mostly because the sun was in our eyes and it was hot. We went inside and covered all of our windows to try to keep the light out as best we could and cranked on the AC. So weird that the sun just sort of goes around in a circle overhead, never really setting.
Monday, we hit the Dempster again, this time heading south. We're sad to be leaving. We could have easily spent the summer up here.
