Belgium Skiier

Just wanted to make a quick not.

We have started up the Dempster Highway after leaving Dawson City where we stayed last night. And not more than 3kms up the road we came across a man on cross country skis towing a sled.

Sergio, is from Belgium and makes a trip somewhere in the world for 4 weeks of travel. The last trip he made to Canada he made a long trip via dog sled. This trip thou he opted for skis so he could enjoy more solitude. His sled has the name of his cheese shop on the side "Maison Du Fromage". In the sled he carries enough supplies for 30 days; and you guys all thought we were crazy, Sergio can only cover about 20km on a good day!!!!! It is over 500 km from Dawson to Eagles Plane the next community on the highway!!!!

What a great start to our Dempster experience.

We have decided as well to make a point of trying to meet more people and hopefully share stories of your mutual experiences of the north.

And of course tell all of you all about them.
