There are many ways to arrive in Inuvik, NWT. I got there by driving my SUV on a wet and muddy road, but you might fly in by airplane or take a hot air balloon. Maybe you arrive by sea on a boat, ship or canoe. Or you might travel overland on foot, snowshoeing, skiing, horseback, bicycle, motorcycle, camper, RV, truck, snow machine, or dog sled. The possibilities are seemingly endless! My “drive” up the Dempster in 2003 was reminiscent of my first time on the AlCan the summer of 1956 -- both are memories that I’ll cherish forever. No matter your method of transportation, your arrival says that you’re ready for an adventure, so Congratulations!
In order to log this cache when it was first published one had to discover the Dempster Highway travel bug (304635) that was attached to the old wooden sign. I imagine it’s still available for a Virtual Discovery. (Thank You Katmanduu)
To log this virtual cache today: FOR YOUR "FOUND IT" LOG, POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF, or YOUR GPS DEVICE, WITH THE SIGN IN THE BSCKGROUND. Inuvik has a new welcoming sign, but I was really partial to the old painted wood “Welcome to Inuvik- End of the Dempster” sign, which I believe won't be replaced, but if it ever is then either will do. I just want to know that you've been here.
YES, I'M AWARE THAT YOU CAN PHOTOSHOP BOTH TO SATISFY MY EASY REQUIREMENTS, BUT THAT JUSTS MAKES YOU A CHEATER.
You can also compare the coordinates you have on your GPS or Phone to those found on the new sign. Plese post yours in the Found It log.
