On Sunday, after climbing I headed south down the Dempster, it was a nice day -19, but no wind and very clear skies. Took some pix south of Beaver and Carmichael Lakes, trees, sunset, road, etc. Also got the sunset showing very pronounced mirage effect with a trapped air layer hanging over the Delta and warping the Richardson Range into fantasy-esque Plateau Mountains. The really interesting thing is that the layer is so distinct and quite visible. On the way back a martin jumped out on the road soon followed by a wolverine. Some of the locals were saying that one martin pelt went for 1300 dollars last year but that, of course, was exceptional. It seems one can make reasonable money trapping martin right now.
Further south...
