The town of Inuvik was built by the Canadian Government to relocate the town of Aklavik, which was flooded, some people in Aklavik didn't move, and they call themselves the "town that wouldn't die"
This cemetery is small but nice, and they are renovating it right now, bringing in some dirt to make all the burial plots even as they are all buried in permafrost
Notice the moon above the sign and the "midnight sun" below, you really have to wear sunglasses at night, it's that bright
This is Grizzly Bear territory also, but we didn't see any
All the markers had pink ribbons on them with their names on it, so that if they got moved during the renovation they's know who they were
These were the only granite, markers we saw, can you imagine getting them here?
Very nice, she must have provided many cups of tea to someone

I love the cemetery shots, you take the best most interesting photos!! I haven't been able to check in for a few days so it has been so much fun catching up, Karen teases me and says I am enjoying this trip as much if not more than the two of you!!! Your pictures are awesome, you do a great job, I especially like seeing the both of you, mosquito bitten eyes and all!! What...they got a thing for eyes????? Where are we headed to next?? Drive careful!!
Good to have you back Barbara, put on your seatbelt because it's going to bumpy ride, or at least it has been lately. We are in Tok, and hope to be in Valdez soon, then to Anchorage and who knows, I just go where I am told to go, as the car just goes where it is towed to go. Where have you been in Alaska?
