I left Whistler northwards, as usual without the faintest idea what I'd find on the road and even less than I expected to get to Inuvik what reaches farther north than the route through Canada and as far north as I'm going on my trip, and I think it is as far north as you can go by car in Canada.
And so on the desire always got on the truck to see what the future held for me, after 40 min of travel to reach a super steep part, and between that day was super hot, the lack of wind and the steepness of the route the poor van began to heat so as soon as I stop on the route, and got to sit and wait to cool the engine, I started reading until I got bored and went mosquitoes trip, luckily was about to reach the top and the truck holds up well, but I realized that I was out of the 5000 km since last oil change so I make a mental note that I had to change the oil soon.
A while on the road and saw a hitch-native and as expected stop and pick it up, nice person but the boy did not understand anything he said jijijijij, after a while he got on the road and started again as soon as a bear, if a bear is cute shot across the road and almost ran over but I got to stop just past, at least I can say that I saw a bear up close.
And that night I went to Clinton is a village more on the way but had a contact where I spend Crystal to go to stay at the home of his niece, but when you get to town and did not call nobody in the house so I decided to travel, but before leaving, call Crystal's sister who lives in Williams Lake which was later so as not to risk not finding at home but when called and asked if I could stay at home on Sunday said that unfortunately I was not going to be so I decided to spend the night close to Clinton and then continue trip to Prince George that was farther north.
Looking for a place to spend the night I went to see a place called "The Abyss" which is basically a fee that was carved by glaciers many many years ago. But the truth was not a big deal.
The huge gulf, though not as great jijijij
A little later I managed to park and spend the night, I mentioned that my dinner that night was strengthening dogs and lettuce, you have to be inventive when you do not have much to cook and you're hungry, the truth that misses the times when Dan and Jamie we spent hours thinking and planning to get a meal jijiji.
The next morning I continued traveling and lift to another man a little later, after refueling at a good price for what is BC, only $ 1,039 to drive to a town called Quesnel, on the trip I comment from a place called Barkerville is a historic town where there are people who act as if at the time of the people and interact with people is good, also all the people functions as a museum. The town was founded primarily by the gold rush as in this area and all the way to Alaska once had much gold, and there is much information about the area, which at that time was used to extract gold, the way of life and many things to do, until you sell a flat with earth to find gold and then give you the gold in a bottle as a souvenir. The only problem was that I wanted to charge admission and we all know how I am, so as expected before paying look for alternatives and found that there was a walk that was free, the good thing was that after 5 min walk vi if going down a slope, going through a grove, crossed a creek and climb a small cliff I could get into the people and obviously that jijijijij what I did, the worst thing ever even ask because it was the entry, maybe I save $ 10 or $ 100 but that's not important, what matters is you do not pay anything jijiji. And ta once in the village, I took a walk, take several pictures, the actors look like they do at the time and spend the evening as fun, less evil because he had run 80 km to reach the people and not want to waste the afternoon.
Chinese people in the puebo of Barkervillle, apparently the Chinese were classified as inferior and although they worked hard in the mines, kept their customs and lived in their own way by staying away from the rest of the people.

This device called, "rock the box" (rocks the box) and was used for gold, basically put land on top, add water and then shake the box inside the box is a series of filters that make dirt and rocks out of the bottom and the gold is much heavier in the box.

out came the decision to change the oil because at that point and was almost 6500 km and do not give a break to play around engine. The issue is that they do not know I have no idea of \u200b\u200bengines and play around the mechanic in the middle of nowhere is not my idea a fun evening but good manual grip of the truck and after studying everything I decided to try his luck, but when you remove the screw to drain the oil that was hotter than I thought and as all I had to put the used oil were some bags are melted down and build a enchastre neither tell them in the parking lot where I was, luckily there was nobody else around. But that does not end the adventure of changing the oil, because I very much alive and very rough as you want, I did not realize that changing the oil requires more oil to fill up for the lost and found that 2-liter half do not provide oil to reach the necessary minimum oil fill the tank, so I had to drive 6 miles to a town that had, and buy another 2 liters in order to reach the minimum and there I went another 100 miles to a larger town to buy more oil but cheaper to finally fill the tank.
By now I was in Prince George which is 2850 km from Inuvik, and then I dropped the tab that was on Sunday 15 August, a day after the meet of my breast which I sent him a mail in their day, and 3 days after the anniversary of my sister to whom you send an email but apparently rather than sending an email to me when I sent it to another William I have in my contact list jijijiji, but ta the issue date is the following weekend is the Dragon Boat Festival in Edmonton which is a boat race in which I participated last year and for which I was training with the Leo Club of Edmonton until I went to travel and dropping it would be good to see you all again so in a fit of madness I decided to drive to Inuvik, hang out and return to Edmonton for the event, but that turned into having to drive almost 1000 km per day, or an average of 11 hours per day to get to Edmonton for the event and believe me it's not that fun having to drive so many hours, just for some routes that after a while are the same landscape for miles and miles and miles and more kms ... but if there was something I knew I was going to happen on the trip is that especially in Canada I was going to play several days of long hours behind the wheel so I bite the bullet and start driving.
