Hello followers,
So yesterday Jack made it to Dawson City and spent the day there reading history, charging electronic devices and meeting the locals. Lots of good stories. Jack says they are all very helpful and it's a very interesting place. Lots of history, the stuff he has read about.
This shows the location coordinates I get with regular email SPOT GPS updates as to where he is. You can even see it in the satellite imagine, very cool
Click the link below to see where I am located.
Then Sean his IT assistant ( so thankful Sean is helping) puts them on a map for us to follow. Watch where the dots go ....
From an early age on Jack was inspired to want to explore. This was one of his fav books.
Time spent reading in the local library & museum.
But before he sets out there is always the need for morning coffee!!! Note his chair/kitchen table and the kitchen rubbermaid cupboard/footstool. If it had a multi purpose it was allowed to come along!
Traveling to Dawson. The mighty Yukon River
Mount Logan, highest in Canada, 2nd highest in N America
Highway to Dawson
Today June 8 he sets out for Old Crow. Time to break out the satellite phone.
Old Crow (Teechik[2] in Gwich'in) is a dry community in the Canadian Territoryof Yukon and is a periglacial environment. It had 267 inhabitants as of 2008, most of them belonging to the Gwichʼin-speaking Aboriginal Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation. The community is situated on the Porcupine River in the far north of the territory. Old Crow is the only Yukon community that cannot be reached by car so one must fly in to the Old Crow Airport in order to reach it.
So stay tuned all. We are now going into communications challenged areas. The Spot will always sent out a regular signal and he files a flight plan and closes it every day. If I do not hear from him at the end of the day I call flight services to confirm his arrival. If they do not hear from him they call me and the investigation starts. For all the visual clutter you may see in the plane, he has been very diligent about his flight checks and flight safety etc.
Happy travels to explorer Captain Jack. You are seeing Canada in a way so very few have. Soar with the eagles.
