Road to Tuktoyaktuk!

That didn't work

 

I didn't know people still use IE in 2019...

 

Yes, on the way home like that.

 

Or we could go PA to Dead Horse AK to Seward AK to Seattle WA to Home.

199 hours and 11,000 miles per Google.

 

3 oil change trip

 

why not ?

 

1 oil change with TuRd GeN

Just weird, when you get edge right there... haven’t used IE for anything but poorly written systems like ADP...

 

Ha! You're pushing edge? Lulz...carry on

 

I used safari before, but having windows... chrome doesn’t cut it, firefox feels weird, edge ain’t so bad, and new one is build on chromium.

 

Luv ya bro...I'm still in the Mosaic vs Netscape wars. When Archie & Veronica competed with WWW, gopher was a try guy...you're right.


Edge!

Deliberate edit to untag the sarcasm font

 

I do know Archie, if we are talking about comics lol
netscape is a dinosaur thing of the past, I was chugging milk when that happen

 

You gots some googling to do grasshopper. You were simply a wet dream when these wars went down. It was epic days...you hyper douche fvcks get all uptight with 2nd vs 3rd gen smack downs. Y'all never witnessed the Windows vs OS2 battles. Token ring vs Ethernet vs arcnet, blood was shed my communist friend. Overlander vs mallcrawler? Pshaw. I fought the MVS vs VM/CMS war....

And you bring me....edge

 

Archie and veronica...... dont forger gopher

When the WWW came out, I was saying that it would never work, too bandwidth intense.

Usenet and telnet where what I used Most back in them days.

 

pfff, what do you know about wars...try meme wars, that was intense

 

DRDOS vs DOS

 

Gopher is in there...I was building isp's circa 1992

 

Time frame is looking good.

 

Some pointers, circa 2018, from the top of my head. Feel free to shoot questions my way, I did the ak highway and the cassiar last year. This post just thinking about the Dempster.

Make sure you stop in at the NWT visitors center in Dawson City before you head up the Dempster, they will have the latest information on conditions. Also in Dawson is a NAPA. I could write a lot more about Dawson City, it's a sweet little town.

The Dempster road itself isn't so bad, but do bring spare spare tires. And a good jack. I ran into a guy with a 2500 Ram with a camper in the bed that wore out his factory jack changing tires on that road.

I wasn't watching my cell phone the whole time, but I'm pretty sure service up there was nonexistent. Ham radios would be good to have.

Beware the semi trucks. They give zero fucks. None.

Sometimes the road is dusty, sometimes it's sloppy, sometimes it's just right. Be aware that if you go from wet and sloppy into dusty that is a recipe for a clogged radiator.

Eagle plains has a tire shop, so they may be able to repair a flat for you. I didn't stay at the hotel, I camped either in the parking lot or at a place off the road to the north. The food is pretty good though and they have plenty of beer.

In Inuvik stop at the visitors center, you can get a certificate for sticking your hand in the Arctic Ocean. While there, I also highly recommend stopping in at Alestines for lunch.

I camped on the point in Tuk, it was free. They were still figuring out the whole tourism thing then, so that will probably change. Do stop into their visitors center though, they're very friendly and if you'd like to buy a locally made item, that's a good place to go. I got a sweet hat. The RCMP also has some swag for sale, but bring cash.

Also, I wanna go back.... *sigh*

I'll post more if I think of anything.

 

Great info!
