We've made it to Inuvik after a 500 mile drive from Dawson. The room/hotel here is really nice and modern- All suites. We're connected to Marinus and Renee Damm (although I don't think they know how lucky they are yet to have us).
We skipped lunch so now it's time to find something. We have some neat pictures from the drive through the tundra along the Dempster highway. More later.

Dear Mr. Dauntless Douglas:
On behalf of all of us Eskimos in Inuvik -- I, the mayor, welcomes you to our fair ice city !
You 2 are the first white folks we have seen in years. In addition to the key to our city, I am offering you the hand of my oldest daughter in marriage. We will consummate your vows with whale blubber and caribou liver. (hopefully before the papooses arrive)
I am sorry about the extreme heat in the hallways of your hotel. But, We offer total immersion in our public ice baths to assuage your misery.
Please cleanse your filthy bodies thoroughly of all lice and other parasites first, to protect our tribe from the filthy, disgusting diseases you whites always bring to us.
While in town , please refrain from stepping on any of our beloved ice-worms.
Inuvik Mayor, Becker
