My mind raced. Did I doze off and miss our stop in Old Crow? Did I, somehow, get on the wrong flight? The plane was about to touch down and a bunch of large, unfamiliar buildings whizzed by. Where the heck are we?
It was then that I remembered that Air North's Monday flight to Old Crow stops in Inuvik before looping back to Old Crow, Dawson City, and then Whitehorse.
I was in Inuvik! My first time in Inuvik!
It was a short visit; just enough time for the passengers to disembark, the ramp crew to exchange luggage, the plane to be fueled up, and the passengers boarded for the next leg.
I didn't see anything of Inuvik on our short stay - aside from the airport. I can say I've "been there" but I haven't really been there yet. It was sort of like the traveling equivalent of reaching first base. Maybe not even.
I have no doubt I'll make it to Inuvik for a longer visit someday. In the meantime, I'll keep visiting Inuvik Phil's site, inuvikphotos.ca. When I do make it back, I look forward to taking some more pictures of my own.

Yep, that's Inuvik.
Phil does a great job of showing what Inuvik looks like. It's my daily dose of the community.
You've seen as much of Inuvik as I have. I ended up in the airport there on an Air North flight that couldn't land in Dawson because of ice fog. I can say that I have been in Old Crow too!
