Day 11. Turning true North

We left Liard River on a long ride to Minto River, about 550 miles away. We left around 8:00am after a hearty breakfast. We had a long but good drive. Along the way. we saw a herd of Bison, a small black bear, a mother moose & small calf, & a long coyote.

We arrived at Minto River resort to find it closed. We headed 45 miles further north to Pelly Crossing & stayed at a closed Selkirk First Nation campground. It was already closed, so we stayed free next to the Yukon river. We had a roaring campfire just before the rains came.

We are 2 days away from our goal of Inuvik. We are nearly on the Dempster Hwy, a 500 miles gravel road to Inuvik.
