Great photos, as always. It looks like you had a great trip!
Right now we are sitting in a campground in Inuvik in the North West Territories. After visiting the east part of the Northwest Territories on our
way west, at Toad River in BC, we met a Mexican man from Veracruz who was riding his BMW motorcycle to Alaska. Unfortunately he broke down and
somebody who was headed back toward Fort Nelson gave him a ride.
We have had a fair amount of rain at times, but no problems yet with any fires. I don't know if we will end up visiting Hyder, but your photos make
it look very interesting so I never know. We will decide as we go. In the rain on the gravel roads we have seen a number of motorcycle riders, and it
never looks very pleasant.
So glad you shared your pictures and I hope we see you the next time you head north.

I try to always post at least one B&W in my reports. Glad you liked that one. Those old bldgs. with the overcast sky and rain seemed appropriate
for a B&W conversion.
Thanks
here's another shot taken just down the street........

BTW--- my two favorites are the sunset at the campground and the Seafood Express. Both are VERY expressive --- beauty and a slice of life.
If you ride the Mackenzie or the Dempster, try for dry weather-- :-)
We say motorcycle riders and bike riders and really felt for them. On our way up the Dempster, it was dry and parts are really dusty, and on the way,
mud all the way. 
But the beauty of the Dempster and the Arctic is so majestic that it leaves one helpless in capturing it.
You will enjoy both!

The good news is that those roads will be virtually mud free for a couple of months in the winter!
Oh yeah.....dress warmly!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Thanks Diane! The Seafood Express shot is interesting in that the man with his back to the camera is the owner, Jim, and one of the men sitting is
his son. The man standing at the door is Jim a member of our group. In the bus cooking is Jim's wife, Diana, they have for 17 years been operating
the Bus from June through September. They are full time residents of Hyder, Jim living there for 44 years. He catches, processes the fish they
serve, including smoked salmon. Behind the bus is indoor seating, by the way.
Sunset shot-Sony NEX7, 10-18 f4, 1/3 sec, f 11, tripod
Bus shot- Sony RX100 mk3, 1/125 sec, f4.5
When I do the Dempster it will be on 4 wheels, this is the last trip Paula will let me leave her at home!
