  • StarLink for the up north 极北地区的星链

    19 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    There are absolutely no cellular coverage in Eagle Plains and minimum in Inuvik, but the places we stayed wifi are surprisingly much better than expected. I wonder why, checking the connection - they both use StarLink!

    鹰原方圆几百公里都完全没有手机信号,伊努维克只在镇内有信号。但是我们住的地方的Wi-Fi网络速度都很快,在这样的极北地区是不可思议的。查看结果:他们都安装了星链。

  • We made to the Tuk! 到达图克托亚图克北冰洋

    20 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    On the 21st day of the trip, after driving 9035 km, we arrived at Tuktoyaktuk, the northernmost hamlet in Canada, stepped into and touched the Arctic Ocean. The water doesn’t taste as salty as the Caribbean’s. Strange. Our teammates brought Arctic Ocean brand Mandarin drink all the way from Toronto, and we all enjoyed it so much.
    We were happy to see the German lady that had flat tire, and she replace all four tires of the rental vehicle! Make sense.
    The famous Grandma’s kitchen is closed due to grandma went to Inuvik, however since she never locks it we were able to drop in for a quick tour.
    GPS coordinate (69.4560170, -133.0289000)
    今天是此行第二十一天,行驶9035公里我们到达加拿大最北面的小村图克托亚图克,触到北冰洋的海水(好像比加勒比的海水淡很多)。同行队友还从多伦多带来了北冰洋汽水!
    在北冰洋标牌旁我们又见到了昨天路上帮助换车胎的德国女游客。为了后面行程的安全她把四条轮胎都换了新的越野轮胎,要知道这是一辆租来的车啊!
    当地著名的老奶奶厨房餐厅今天不营业,因为老奶奶去因纽维克了。她的餐厅从来不锁门,于是我们有机会进去游览观赏一番。

  • Expect the unexpected! 意外总会发生!

    20 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Back to Inuvik we did grocery shopping for dinner then went refuelling.
    A trainee of a full service gas station filled my diesel pickup with gasoline. He has been specifically told diesel, and I have also asked him if he'd prefer I back up further closer to the diesel knozzl. A moment later the manager came over chatting with me and suddenly he realized the tank was filled with gasoline! The auto shop next door (how convenient) opens on Monday morning at 10. Just have to wait.

    从北冰洋回来之后先去买东西准备晚饭,然后来到加油站加油。这是一家全服务站。一位培训级服务员出来给我的车加油,我告诉他加柴油,还特意倒车离柴油口更近一些。另一位经理模样的人来和我打招呼,忽然问我你这是柴油车?然后告诉我刚刚加进去的是汽油!修车厂就在隔壁(还有更方便的吗)周一早上十点营业,只好等着吧……

  • At Northwind Gas Station 被整装待发

    21 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    My truck got towed to the garage 😭 for a ‘gastric lavage procedure’.
    This morning when we returned to the gas station my truck was already loaded onto a tow truck and is awaiting my approval to be taken to gas company’s own garage.
    早上我们回到加油站我的车已经被装上拖车,只等我同意就送去加油站自己公司的维修厂“洗胃”。

  • Tank clean up 清洗油箱

    21 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    By 13:15, Northwind told me the tank cannot be directly drained out; it must be taken down! That’s a bit surprising, a design flaw by GM. We were discussing contingency plans with teammates in case the truck is done by 17:00, it will be challenging to drive 5 hours without bright daylight…
    However, there is always good news – at 13:30, Jeremy, the boss, informed me that the tank is flushed clean, and we will be on our way in about an hour.
    14:20 All done, all good! Henry saved my day.
    15:00 All stuff loaded back to the truck, we are on our way to Eagle Plains!
    GPS coordinate (68.3761060, -133.7499080)
    13:15 北风车厂告诉我由于GM的特殊设计无法直接从油箱内将油抽出来,只能将油箱拆下来向外倒。GM的设计人员有脑子吗?我们讨论了应急计划。因为如果到下午五点才修好,在视线不好的情况下开5个小时很具有挑战性。
    13:30 好消息,经理杰里米告诉我油箱清洁已经完成,大约一小时之内我们就可以出发。
    14:20 憨厚的维修工亨利把车交还给我。
    15:00 行李物品都已经从朋友车装回我们的车里,出发鹰原!

  • Stock up for tonight 去店里上货

    21 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Picked up frozen dumplings for tonight 5 minutes before the store closing, since we will a bit late for dinner at Eagle Plains.
    Saw this cute ATV, the yong driver said it can go up to 170km/h, crazy.

    因为出发晚了到达鹰原肯定已经没有餐厅,途中去副食品关门前买冻饺子作为今天晚饭。在店外有两个小姑娘开着一辆憨憨的全地形车风风火火地来买东西,结果已经锁了门。小姑娘说这个家伙可以跑时速170公里!

  • Dempster is hard on tires 登普斯特最伤轮胎

    21 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    About 2-3 kms north of Arctic Circle Sign we saw tire debre on the road we guessed were the fall-off outer layer of retreaded tires, until at the sign pullout we saw this camper trailer. Driver did not know it lost the whole wheel and on its axle for about 3 kms. Extremely risky. Helped them called the towing service by leaving message from Eagle Plains land line.
    GPS coordinate (66.5654436, -136.3077056)
    在北极圈标志停车场北约2-3公里处,我们看到路上有轮胎残骸,以为是重新翻新的轮胎外层脱落。直到在标志停车区,我们看到了这辆跑掉了轮圈的宿营拖车。司机并不知道车轮在大约3公里的路程上脱落了。情况非常危险。我们在鹰原用有线电话帮助他们通过留言联系了拖车服务。

  • Goodbye Eagle Plains 再见,鹰原!

    22 augusti 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    After a stressful day, we had a good rest at Eagle Plains. This morning, we ordered very delicious breakfast, then set out for Dawson City. On my way out, I was surprised to hear someone calling my name – it was Judith, the couple from the travel trailer that lost its left wheel at the Arctic Circle sign pullout area yesterday. They finally managed to contact a towing company, and surprisingly, Judith had used their service before. Because Judith gave them a good review on Facebook for their quality service, the towing company is willing to prioritize moving the trailer to the nearest garage. Treat other people the way you’d like to be treated.

    紧张的一天结束后,我们在鹰原踏实地休息了一晚。丰盛的早餐之后,我们就出发回道森城。出门时,有人喊我的名字,令我惊喜不已——原来是朱蒂丝,昨天在北极圈标牌停车区车轮脱落的那对夫妇。他们最终成功联系上了拖车公司,而且令人意外的是,朱蒂丝以前居然用过这家公司的服务。由于朱蒂丝在Facebook上为他们的高质量服务留下了好评,拖车公司决定优先将宿营车拖到最近的修理厂。勿以善小而不为。
