Fare thee well Whitehorse Ill miss ya. Yes I am still hiking North but Im happy to announce weve changed things up a bit. Thanks to the outpouring of support and the Trans Canada Trail organization I have a support vehicle so I may focus on the hike. My season nearly ended but its been salvaged and in about 40 days Ill be on my 3rd ocean. The toughest part was finding a rental this time of year. Most were closed down or they wouldnt let their vehicle up the Dempster highway in winter. I mean it is a little nuts Ill admit it. Ideally I wanted a truck and camper but had to settle for a GMC Suburban. I almost had a truck and camper but the deal fell through. Kate had introduced me to a wonderful family Stuart, Mellisa, and little baby Tatum Murray who were keen to help offering their truck but insurance fell through so that option was out. However Stuart was determined to help and set us up with the wonderful people at Driving Force who gave us an extraordinary deal. Stuart then went above and beyond once again getting us the gear we would need for our arctic adventure. He also set us up with Total North getting my driver Joey an inReach so we will be able to communicate as cell service will be very sparse to say the least. It will also allow us to check weather as it gets extreme and knowing whats ahead will allow us to make critical informed decisions on safety. The last few days have been a scramble and theres lots of kinks to work out but well get into a rhythm and routine in no time Im sure. Im still looking to raise a little more money as the start up costs were very high so should you have the means you can contribute in three ways 1- email it at danameise@hotmail 2- through my gofundme campaign gofundme/hdusv8 3- via paypal just look up The Great Hike A HUGE THANKS once again for all your help and support. Im excited to continue sharing my hiking stories with you all. May you all have a glorious day indeed. Oh and one more thing. For those who have offered me a place to stay Id still like to take you up on that. There would be two of us now so please PM me as to where you are up the Highway and Ill do my best to visit.
