NWT

While helping a couple change a blown tire on the Dempster, the lady told us NWT wasn't as pretty as Yukon, mostly trees and big rocks. We were more intrigued by the two bottles of wine she insisted we accept as thanks, but by the time we arrived we knew she was correct.

It's not that the NWT sucks, it's a verdant wonderland, but the Yukon is so epic, it is difficult to compare. There's plenty of wildlife as well.

And our interaction with folks continues to be enjoyable. The ENR ranger who sold us our license was very helpful and also fluent in the First Nation dialect for the region. Fascinating to listen to.
Can also report that the rig required an oil change and tire rotation. No problem as we found a family-owned garage with hunters and a daughter that runs the computer and pulls tires off trucks. Couple of hours to get the work done, but drank in their coffee and experience.
