Incredible news! At a cost of $300 million to the Canadian government, the new all season road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk had opened up in November, 2017. The winter ice road on the frozen Mackenzie River was history. What exactly did this mean to Lupe? Why, it was destiny!
The Most High Exalted Dingo of the Arctic Sisterhood simply had to go! A year after she’d traveled the entire Dalton Highway across the Brooks Range and Alaska’s North Slope all the way to Deadhorse near Prudhoe Bay, the Carolina Dog was headed for Tuktoyaktuk, Land of the Pingos.
If the G6 could survive the journey, Lupe would be strolling along the beach at the Arctic Ocean herself! No more being reduced to sending SPHP as her personal representative. And don’t you know there were going to be countless fantastic adventures in the far North both before and afterwards! Over 9,000 miles of them from the Canadian Rockies, to the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Alaska.
