Jimmy Vee's Drives into the Wilderness

Canadian solo wilderness trips in a Golf TDI. Over the years this blog profiled trips to the furthermost spot one could drive in Canada to Inuvik NWT a 7,000km one way drive from Toronto. Later they opened a new road adding another 200km further to Tuktoyaktuk, so i went again. Since the USA Border closure has been extended to at least August 21st 2021 I am staying close to home so will drive around Ontario. Yes driving the same TDI is now has 660,000 kms

Day 17 Monday July 25th Back to Whitehorse

The Alaskan highway again follows a river and in Canada a range of the Kluane Mountains, which is a wildlife sanctuary. Behind the first range you can see glimpses of a very large glacier. This part of the range is a National Park in Canada and the USA; accessible only by plane.

Taking the turn at Haines junction towards Whitehorse, today will be an administrative day, call home, up-date the blog, get an oil change (using my oil and filter still cost $71), get a hotel. Tomorrow, a very late start, stay in hotel as long as possible. I get onto Hotwire.ca a book at the Best Western $163 ($141 + Tax) seems high but this is the north and they have a very short season, also the guy next to me as a walk in books at $180 plus tax, so again Hotwire is a good thing. No pics today.

367km today.

At some point you might want to add a map showing your route. What an adventure. Enjoy!

I can't believe that you blow your budget on the hotel!
