Hart Winter Road

We did a little walk on this Hart Winter Road and find a wonderful landscape - like always!






Unfortunately I got a flat tire ... they put new gravel on the Highway ... and even with the help of a biker which i stopped, i couldn't get the screws open ...


... but with the help of this german couple, I have changed the wheel!
Pretty cool couple ... they came from South America up until Alaska and Inuvik ... all in their camper ( 50 000 km now! ).

Dogs

Mmmmmmm, sour cream ..... !


Look, I have new teeth ... now I can look like a dangerous dog!


First time with a harness and Celtic is showing to Bella how it works.


And the second time Bella was already pulling quiet good!

Celtic on the way to our little trips

Celtic loves it to have a good view during driving ... but she is a big girl and had a hard time to find a comfortable position on the front seat.


Look over the Yukon River from the Dome road view point.

Climb up the Goldensides Mountains

When there are no clients I try to use my time to explore the wonderful surrounding and the Tombstone Park.


That's the peak we were heading for.


Together with her teacher Celtic ...


... Bella explored how to climb.


And after a quiet steep climp we had a wonderful view over different valleys!




Tombstone Range view.


A little summer impression.


And even the Tundra has wonderful colors.

Rescue

Two english clients from London ignored the sign that says .... please park your car at the parking lot and walk the footway down to the cabins and your luggage will be picked up by a four wheeler ... so they got stucked with their normal car on our super rough and muddy road ...


With the help of two conservation officers we got them out ... but i looked like this after this "adventure"!

A little walk at Klondike River

And yes, what did Bella find ... snow and ice ...


... what a big fun!!!

Bensen Creek ... how does it look like there?

Just to give everybody an idea how my new place looks like ...


The cabin lodge from the outside ....





... the inside downstairs ...


... and the sleepingroom for guests upstairs.


Fire place


The machine to cut wood.


The cedar wood hot tub.


The outside shower.


The outhouse ... and you always have to close the door :-)


The guest cabin with a king size bed inside.


The trapper cabin in which i'm sleeping.


The inside of the trapper cabin ... kitchen ...


... living room ...


... upstairs the bedroom.


The new quad ... now i can reach the house with it although the way is pretty rough!

My new job ...

When I was at Muktuk Kennel a french guy named Gerard came by with one of his clients and we had a little chat about Dawson because he is from Dawson. I asked him how it is there and how the job situation is there and so on .... and two days later he came by again to offer me a job in his business at Benson Creek, 30 km north on the Dempster Highway ...
A few days later i went there to have a look and now I'm here ... you can have a look at Gerards Homepage ( the link is in the sidebar ) and in the next days I will show you also more pictures ...
So what are my skills here if Gerard is guiding tours... cleaning and preparing the room for clients, cooking for the clients, looking that everything is running well ... means to look after the generators etc. ...

Boat trip on the Yukon River

My new boss is a volunteer for the Conversation officer ... so he is making trips on the Yukon river to check who is on the river, if the people have licenses for fishing or hunting, what wildlife is visible etc. ... so he offered me to come with him for 3 nights and 4 days to see the Yukon from a boat ... a wonderful possibility!


Packing the boat for the trip.


A new experience for Bella ... be on a boat together with her new teacher ... Celtik!


One view over the Yukon river.


The first dinner in the bush on our camping trip.


Sunset .... without words.


The landscape changes a lot .... I loved especially the areas with rocks.


The weather is always changing ... sun and beautiful warm and in the next moment cloudy, rain, thunder and lightning and cold.


Fort Selkirk ... in former times a town during the Gold rush ... now the first nation people taking care of it and restore the houses etc..


Bella really enjoied the whole trip ... on the boat and in the bush ... and especially the camping where she could sleep directly beside me and she tried always to get the best spot .... but she hasn't drunk the beer :-)


We weren't lucky with the wildlife but at least we saw a moose.


Everything in the Yukon is pretty hard ... so this was Bellas first swim lesson ... straight through the Yukon behind the boat ... what a great little girl!


Beside the wonderful view we saw a crazy canadian guy ...


... with his canoe, his husky and a self made sail. And he was travelling the Yukon way which means without tent ... just sleeping under the canoe with some blankets.


And there is again some rain coming.



Yes, the landscape is just beautiful.
