I made it to the ferry in this video. The mighty Merv Hardie that crosses the MacKenzie River. It may not be a BC Ferry, but it is still an exciting part of my trip because it is something different to look at.
After gassing up at the Fort Providence gas station I continue on. The last part of this video is just after I passed through the “forest fire” area, which really only ended up being about a kilometer stretch on the road.

part 1 of my 2011 trip from Fort St John to yellowknife
Since living in Fort St John I have often been asked, how is it I sleep at night when it is always light out. Having grown up in Yellowknife, I had never really thought out it. I slept at night and got up in the morning.
I chalked it up to being like anything else, it is a routine. I tell myself it is time to sleep, so I sleep. I’m assuming it is much the same for those who take naps in the middle of the afternoon or folks that work nightshifts (done this too). Of course I to have tried my hand in different methods of blocking out the light, tinfoil or any other thick material over windows or wearing a mask. Then again, I do the same thing in Fort St John.
Whether it is because I’m out of the normal routine or in Yellowknife or even because I’m an hour different than I normally am, I find I have a slight bit more energy. I woke at 7am and here I am still at 12:30. I do love Yellowknife summers, they compare to nothing.
Photos were taken at about 12:00am June 24, 2011. Check the timestamp. There was very little editing, just converting from RAW to jpeg.
I arrived in Yellowknife Wednesday evening. I know you must be wonder why then you haven’t heard from me since before I left Fort St John than. Well, it was seeing family and doing a little bit of work. Seeing family after a couple months is nice and time consuming. I am also out of my element at the moment, so that took sometime to get back into.
I did record talk of myself as I travel 1200kms and this is part 1. I got some photos as well, which I’ll upload later.
