Land of the Midnight Sun

[G.Q. Jeeper]

I am planning on moving to the Canadian Arctic, In late October of this year I will be visiting the NWT (Northwest Territories) in the City of Yellowknife. I am going to be looking for work and hopefully get to spend the rest of my life up there. So far I have made many contacts, I feel good about this and hope the NWT is everything I dreamed it to be.

In the past few months I had a hell of a time finding out the trail system up there, the laws, where you can go, off road clubs etc, then I was talking with my contacts up there and asked them if there were any trails to off road in, and what its like for the 4WD user/enthusits, and what are the laws regarding trail useage?

She told me that's all they do up there, so many trails that are considered roads and used by everyone - ATV's Jeeps, 4X4, XJ's! etc, she says everyone goes wherever they want whenever they want, and some places you should not go...ahahaha Lots of Rocks, Swamps, mud, tundra etc its a 4wd paradise over 456,800mi2 is waiting for my XJ! ahaha..

There is no need for 4wd groups to fight land closure, so it looks like I am all set, taking a nice XJ, my Shelby Charger and begin life in the Canadian Arctic!

There are lots of Jobs there, from Government,from Diamond mining to tourism operators....

I will be seeking a Government Job. Northwest Territories is the Diamond Capital of North America, and if it was its own country it would rank #1 in the world for GDP. Yellowknife offers everything a medium sized city would have in North America, the cars do not rust, the cold is a dry cold and its an amazing (hidden paradise) place to live, work or visit!

Check the Governments web site:

oh and they have the world's most distinct licence plate for your vehicle:
