Sara leaves on Monday morning to fly to Iskut for work.
My plan is Tuesday to drive north of Vancouver Island to Port Hardy, on the top of the red above.
Then take a 15 hour ferry to Prince Rupert, just right of the word Queen in Queen Charlotte Islands.
Then about a 9 hour drive up to Iskut.
So it will be a long but beautiful drive. The guide books that i have read describe this part of BC as the Grand Canyon of Canada. It is very remote and will be a good challenge for Ramona and me…..more later about this trip.

I was going to chip in and say your estimate of 9 hours drive from Prince Rupert to Iskut is very optimistic but that is what Google Maps says as well. I still think it will take you much longer than that - maybe double. There will be some gravel and construction this time of year. It will be a wonderful trip though!
Just a tip: Gas stations are spread out in the north so the general rule is, if you pass a gas station with half a tank left, fill up. Also, make sure your spare tire is good. Take it down and check the pressure.
Think about buying a copy of The Milepost. It covers the area you are traveling as well.
