Good to see you are driving in our back country. Recession did hit us, Diamond mines are slowing down, 300 people to date laid off at one of them. The road you are travelling on is our future all weather highway north on Inuvik. Being proposed as a stimulus package for the north (northern bc, ab, yt and nwt). Keep up the truckin!
