and yet I never did, never will understand how people can justify/defend/enjoy driving around fragile landscapes in motorvehicles.

might be my favorite pic of Kurt yet. You have reached a new level of serenity and wisdom.

too sad: security cameras in the Yukon
so happy: helpful communicative strangers!

@ Steve … I’ve been surprised by both the growth and the resource extraction industries. I guess it makes sense that one goes hand-in-hand with the other.

Looking forward to a meet up!

@ Mike … and there’s no end in sight.

@John … in the window

where's your horse?

Hi Kurt-

I've been following your progress all the way; reads like an adventure novel! I hope the last part of your trip goes well and that you return in good form.

It's been especially interesting for me to see how much development has taken place in BC and AK since the time I was there (1969-71). Convenience stores, indeed!

When you're back in Seattle, let me know -- it would be great to get together some time and chat!

Gold mining - with the current price transporting ore 240 miles to a mill is obviously still viable.
I was a bean counter for a mining company in Australia in the nineteen nineties and AFAICR we needed a grade of 8 grams a ton to make money for underground mining. with a then gold price of US$500 ton. Recovery methods have improved since then. Today's gold price is six times that.

This one had me wondering if there really was such a thing as Devine intervention.

He was only there so he wouldn’t get fined.
