It looks a lot different of course, but from our first radio call to the familiar products in the grocery store it felt like home. Customs and immigration too, were thorough and prompt with no indication we might be smugling drugs or people, or that we might have any alterior motives. It is a long time since people had a Grande Prairie accent. The usual floating wood near the mouth of the Yukon River. And the sea still lively untill 02:00. Looking hard for a dead floating walrus but no luck. You can keep the Ivory if you register it.
