The ice road to and from Tuk was amazing.  We were driving on a river and then the ocean.  The colors in the road changed as we drove back in.  The road on the sea was a darker color, but the road on the river was seafoam green color...

 On the way back from Tuk, Car 1 wanted to take the lead...

And then, it got foggy for about 25 miles...

Visibility was less than a quarter mile...  a little late we stopped to change drivers and I took a few shots..

It was cold enough, that the fog built up on the antenea...

...and on the KC Highlights HID lights. 

It's been awhile since I updated anything decently, and since the rally ended this evening with us arriving safely in Jasper, AB, I think I ought to pick up the story of this adventure...

We were overnighting in Inuvik, and we got up too early in the morning to get out to Tuk... and are we glad we did for we saw...

The moonsetting over a pingo. (Click the link to find out about pingos...)

Also in Tuk, we caught the sunrise in Tuk, too... it was STUNNING!  As the last few cars who were going to come up to Tuk were making their way off the ice road, the sun started to crest the horizon...

 Then the first edges of the sun broke...

The way the cold are allowed the colors to come out in the clouds, the sun blasted light over the snow.  It was breath taking.  

The last few days have afforded us time off from TSD and ice racing as we ran the Klondike up the Dawson City, the Dempster up to Inuvik, and the ice road out to Tuk... and back here to Whitehorse.  Now it's back to business with a repeat of the last TSD leg we did, and another run through the ice race course.

I have amazing pictures from Tuk.  Greg Hightower said we really needed to get to Tuk before sunrise, and he was right.  Thank you, Greg!!  We got there in time to not only catch a fantastic sunrise on top of the world, but we got pictures of the moon going down behind a pingo!  Abosolutely amazing!!

Last night we were in Eagle Plains, which is literally 200+ miles from anything else, and as you saw, they had no internet, not much TV, and it was very cold, so the only thing to do there is go to the bar.  The specialty there is the Eagle Claw, and you get to keep the shot glass.  I will only say two things about them: 1) They are tasty... 2) They sneak up on you.

I will write some more post while in transit to Liard Hot Springs tomorrow and post them after a nice, long soak, as well as post my picts from Tuk.. here's a teaser, though...
