It’s hard to believe that we reached the Arctic Ocean in Tuktoyaktuk over 2 years ago. After spending over a year and a half building the truck, it was fun to be one of the first vehicles to reach the Arctic Ocean in 2019 when the Arctic river crossings first opened along the Dempster Highway. It sure has been a crazy 2 years since then. We are thankful we were able to have this experience.
There is a lot of ripe citrus in our orchard right now: tangerines, oranges, and lemons.
It's been fun harvesting food from around our property. Hopefully there will be a lot more of that in the future.
We are loving the weather here. The highs have been in the upper 70s (F), and the nights are nice, cool low 60s (F). It's been fun getting a little bit of food from our property. The orchard in the back is full of citrus right now, and we were able to harvest a small bundle of bananas the other day. They are now hanging from our porch ripening. We think they are a type of apple banana. They are very small (2-3 inches long, about 1 inch in diameter) and very tasty!
We shipped all of our household goods to our new home in a 20 foot sea container. This is the container sitting in our new driveway. It's super green here!
We haven’t posted in quite a while, but we are doing well. Amongst all the chaos of 2020, we were able to move to our new home on the big island of Hawaii. We are really enjoying the weather and greener environment. It’s a 512 square foot fixer upper on a 3 acre lot with tons of mature fruit trees.
We added the finishing touches to the custom cab hardtop this week. The outside got a nice, glossy coat of white paint and we put speckled texture paint on the inside surface. It looks really sharp.
Well, you might not be hearing from us for a little while as we regroup a bit. We sold the truck to a great experienced overland couple and they came and picked it up. You can follow along on their adventures @searchandrec.
These are a few video clips as we drove along the Dempster Highway and crossed the Arctic circle. We saw a lot of wildlife along the way. This particular grizzly ran ahead of us and then circled around behind us to check us out again. It ended up coming extremely close to the truck, so we decided to leave the area.
