Yes we did catch up with him. He was a Very interesting person! He talked about his 43 years working for the state of Alaska tagging grizzly bears! He also gave a tour of his 30’s vintage 65 foot boat that he lives on.June 22
We had a 375 mile day today from Grand Prairie Alberta to Fort Nelson British Columbia. A good portion was very windy and rainy. Even with that I felt the most relaxed driving than I have since we left a week ago. Before finding a hotel for the night we stopped at the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum. The founder and curator, Marl Brown took a liking to my Pinto.-

In Deadhorse we stayed at the Aurora Hotel. A bit pricey, but food was included, including all you wanted to take with you. They had an interesting way to discourage camping. Deadhorse is an industrial town with lots of company’s, whose sole object is getting oil out of the ground, and down the pipeline.
