G - Reporting
So after a pretty basic breakfast at our cabin which stretched the term bed and breakfast to the limit, we drove into town for a few souvenirs of our most northern location of our travels, the selection was pretty slim so we made do with a bumper sticker and a few postcards and then it was time to head south after a quick splash of gas to make sure we could get to the next gas station at the truly eye watering price by Canadian standards of $1.80!
The run back down the Dempster was alas without wildlife but it was an easy drive and we good time in the sunny weather as I can only imagine what a slog it would be in winter with heavy snow and no daylight.
Reaching Eagle plain mid afternoon we filled up and pressed on for another 200km and camped the night at Engineers creek it was a little chilly but once we got a roaring fire going it was a pleasant night.
