Mushing today. I even had a shot at driving it.

Lol, I do love checking this post at night but I'm sometimes inclined to just see if you made it into the international news by the morning!
Stay safe ya daft sod, id have gone some place nice and warm but you? Nooooooooooo! I'm off with the huskies and hypothermia.👍😁
This is how to enjoy your retirement. It looks absolutely stunning.
There is a webcam that overlooks the ferry crossing in dawson city, you can find it on windy.com
I think its only fair that you tell us. 1. How many times you fell over skiing, and 2. off the side of the sled...
Looks amazing, what an experience, very jealous
3 times on my arse in 100 m on the skis downhill. I was ok on the fkat. Sled went over once. Fell a few times in the deep powder with the snoeshoes. Very difficult to get up again after that especially as my mate was layghing so much😜🙄
Jealous!! Have a great time TJ
Looks awesome! I'm jealous
Today was a tour of some historic buildings around Dawson. Then a drive up the dome. A hilltop viewpoint above dawson

Is that the bar with the sour toe?
Have you been to the bar with the dirt floor?
That view from the Dime is a great one. Is the moosehide slide visible this time of year. It’s a landslide that looks like a moose hide. I’d imagined it was about 40 years old, then saw it in pictures from the gold rush days. It stuck in my mind.
Are the tailings visible by the road on the way into town. Basically a post industrial eyesore, but interesting.
No its a historic bar and no bar with dirt floor
The slide and tailings are both visible
👍
Some pretty epic scenery there!
Today i am going snowmobiling to the " top of the world" road. Which is the road over to Alaska and goes over a mountain range.
Variuos events on this weekend that i have been roped into including a lip sync contest and an open mike night.
"Say yes to everything " as a recovery strategy is takingme to strange places😜🙄🥶😎
By day 54 tj had let his personal hygiene and grooming slip.
Mounties are still optimistic he will be found and are currently following a promising scat trail.
Well, I mean, those mountains aren't messing around.👍 As someone that looks up at the hills on the SDW and thinks ssshhhiiitttt... I reckon those bad boys might be a bit of a sod to pedal up.
...and if FB is to be believed...
HB Tj !
Ok, it's been 2 days.
Time to launch a search?
Hiya
Yesterday we drove a couple of hours north to Tombstone national park for some snowshoeing and skiing. Scenery to die for. We were hoping to drive up to Tuk on the north coast but the road has been closed. Maybe next week
Dring at 50 to 60 mph on snow covered roads makes me twitch. At these temperatures the packed snow is astonishingly grippy even without studded tyres.
Been helping my pal with a fair bit of snow clearing as well in preparation for the melt which is coming soon as daytime temps are reaching zero now
Hoping to go to a trappers camp this week and camp there. Brrrrrrrrrr
Next week to drive up north
TJ - why aren’t you wearing sunnies or goggles out in the snow?
I am wearing sunnies a lot if the sun is out. I take them off for photos
Sounds like you're having an ace time. 😁
We were hoping to drive up to Tuk on the north coast but the road has been closed.
I just did that on Google Maps. Amazing. Hope you get a chance to do it!
More stunning views on a walk.up to a firewatch tower. Slid back down again. Curling with pensioners 🤣😜
Something i wasn't expecting. Compulsory sequins
Where/ how come the road to Tuk's closed?
Its open now. Blown snow closed the Dempster highway
How did I miss this thread of TJ giving it his best Tony Beets impression looking all windswept and interesting.
Looks a great trip, my cup of tea you lucky barsteward.
Way to enjoy retirement TJ. Looks tremendous. Have a great time! 👍
Made it to Inuvik in the arctic but failed to get to Tuk as we got whiteout with drifting snow on the road so drove the ice road on the frozen MacKenzie river to Aklavik instead.
Ah amazing - very envious! We only made it to Inuvik as it was summer. Inuvik was perfectly functional but we wish we'd got further north.
How much other traffic did you see? Did you stop in Eagle Plains on the way, or do it in a one-r? And presumably the ferry crossings en route are now just continuations of the ice road drive?
That crack in the windscreen needs sorting.
A vehicle an hour on the road maybe. We did stop in eagle plains. The Dempster is a gravel road now as is theTuk road but the ferries are replaced by ice bridges in winter.
Everyone has cracked windscreens from the gravel roads
Shine a light. The road south is closed with drifting snow. We might be stuck in Inuvik
There's worse places to be stuck along that road!
For a while I worked with a guy whose brother flew bush aircraft in that area, and they'd land on the Dempster in emergencies. Although not if the visibility was bad enough to stop driving up it I suppose...

Fantastic
That crack in the windscreen needs sorting.
they come like that. Or at least everyone’s windscreen is cracked. As well as the gravel roads gravel is used on the roads when it snows as it too cold for salt to do anything.
Forest looks epic tj.👍
