    Nice! I've never seen that liqueur before. I'll have to try it if I find it. Espolon is a good mixer! I've been a cheap ass, using Cuervo Especial and generic Triple Sec. Once in awhile I get fancy and use G4 or something similar.

    The pink and light blue routes are labeled NWAT2 then sections are numbered. I.E. NWAT2 01, NWAT2 02...

    The green route is NWAT2 Alt routes and labeled by section. I.E. NWAT2 Alt01, NWAT2 Alt02.....

    Here's a link to one of the pink sections. The entire route might (?) pop up by uploading 1 section.

    Edit: Update: It's possible I unknowingly snagged the gpx file from this site @Shellshock shared.

    A few photos from the journey, while we have some reception :rofl:

    Camped near Whitehorse last night/this morning, very pretty area. Planning on crossing the border today and staying at/near Deadman Lake. We saw 5 bears alongside the road yesterday, 4 black and 1 brown - I've only ever seen 1 in the wild before that.

    My personal experience trying to patch a self inflated pad was a complete failure. The pad was tossed out and replaced with a memory foam pad.

    I've used just a small dab MEK solvent to patch pin holes in air mattresses in the past, it just melts the material together, though for a larger hole I would think you would need a patch with an adhesive that will allow the pad to flex.

    With my sleeping pad, the cut was on the side near a seam and about 2 inches long.

    Found the hole. It is small but I didn’t bring the patch kit. Going into get one. Should be an easy fix…. Famous last words. At least there is an REI nearby

    Never say "easy fix" until it's been fixed for at least a week lol.
    If you say it before it always turns into a nightmare and if you say it right after fixing it, the fix will fail.

    Most excellent!!!

    Is everything copacetic with the Land Cruiser?

    How are you liking that tent, now that you’ve had a chance to use it? Did you write your TW update post while seated at your field-desk in your tent, while sipping on brandy in the late evening, as horses gently whinnied just outside?

    By the way, watch out for tour buses stopped near roadside wildlife. Those tour-goers lose all sense of safety in the excitement and they seem to forget they’re taking a selfie with a bear in the middle of the road…so inconsiderate lol. :rolleyes:
