I flew from Chicago to Calgary, Alberta on July 28. Flight was 3.5 hours. After a 2 hour layover, I flew from
Calgary to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in 2.5 hours. I drove to the start of the Dempster Highway the next
day, 500 kms. From there, I drove about 750 km to Inuvik, Northwest Territory. A short flight took me to
Aklavik, and a guide transported me up the Peel River and the Husky Channel to a seismic trail that runs
into the Richardson Mountains. The hike to Bug Creek was about 4 miles. Four days later, on Sunday,
August 7, I traveled back to Aklavik. On Monday, I flew to Inuvik and began the return trip.
Back to Part I.
