Campsite south of Tuktoyaktuk 🚛 We are super impressed with the solar charging system on the truck. We basically use as much power as we want and it’s always been fully recharged by breakfast in the morning. We’ve met a number of travelers from different countries and they have been super nice. It’s a neat transient communal feel as we have bumped into people multiple times along the way. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure

Arctic Ocean — end of the road 🚛 In total, it took us 24 days to go from California to the Arctic Ocean; we stayed in designated campgrounds only 3 of the 24 nights. We reached the arctic coast at Tuktoyaktuk, a small Inuvialuit Northwest Territories town, and we were some of the first visitors to Tuktoyaktuk this summer. Historically, you could only reach Tuktoyaktuk via an ice road only in winter, but the road we took from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk opened in November 2017, so having visitors in the summer is very new to this small community. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure

We were one of the first vehicles of the season to cross the Peel River heading north towards the Arctic Ocean along the Dempster Highway. When we got to the river, the cable barge was not set up for the season. We camped on the road leading up to the south river bank for about 36 hours waiting for the cable to be strung for the barge. As a result, we were able to cross in the early evening on June 2nd. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure
