Up the Dempster Highway to Inuvik

We made it back to Fairbanks for a couple days to recoup. We wanted to get to the Great Northern Arts Festival in Inuvik, so we drove like crazy to get here.... We went almost 400 miles the first day from Fairbanks to Tok, over the Top of the world Highway To Dawson City. Took the ferry across the river and spent a night in Dawson. We got on the Dempster highway, unsure of what to expect. After the experience on the Dalton Highway, we got new tires and hoped for the best on our next 500 mile dirt road. The roads were in very ggod shape and we made good time. We spent the night at almost the 1/2 way point in Eagle Plains. What a great surprise! The food was very good and the lounge was really cool . There were losts of aniamal mounts, hunting antiques and great old photos. We drove on to Inuvik the next day, once again crossing the Arctic Circle. We tour the festival today and we are going to the Arctic Circus tonight. I am going to do an artists workshop tomorrow.
