"There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't sit still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will."

I'm lost for words. The scenery in the far North of Canada is spectacular and beautiful. It has to be seen to be believed.
Large parts of Canada remained the exclusive territory of Aboriginal First Nations until the late 19th century. It was the discovery of gold in the Yukon that changed the far North. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_Gold_RushKlondike

October 3rd 2006 - Tom: Hebden Bridge
Stuart don't forget that Hebden Bridge is also the Lesbian capital of the UK, after all some of your readers might need to know this! On the serious side Canada looks great, the sort of place where it would be better to own a sea-plane than a car, just wher I'd like to live.
October 4th 2006 - le_flow: A great read
As usual it's a pleasure to follow your journey. We've (me and my girlfriend) have had a lot of use for your blogs about West Africa, all the way to Cameroon which we now have left behind us.
Your pictures are getting better and better with the blogs too, keep up the good work. And say hi to White Fang and that wolf-dog in "Call of the Wild" from me, will you.
October 10th 2006 - Ruthann: Seattle > Vancouver
Hi Stuart, it's the Irish girl you met at Boeing again.
I departed Seattle on the same day as you and also headed to Vancouver that day. I got the morning Amtrak train. I'm curious to know how you travelled? Were we coincidentally on the same train? The views are meant to be stunning but the weather was pretty terrible that day!
Hi Ruthann, no I used the Greyhound bus - saving a few pennies! The weather was bad that day, so I didn't see much.
