Today was a day to get everything ready for the long road trip through Yukon and NWT. First to Yellowknife and  Wood buffalo National park but will take a while before I"m there.

    Ja, ik kom er weer langs morgen. Leuk dat 9 uur tijdsverschil ;-) Jullie al wakker op maandag en hier nog geen 11 uur in de avond op zondag.
    Ja volgende autootje is maar 7m lang en 3.6 meter hoog. Je ziet hem haast niet
