too funny. i was senior services engineer at diavik, bringing the open pit underground. one of our engineers was a guy called curtis dunford who we stole from cigar lake; i don't envy you that job.
yeah, exit from smith is north to hay river for 300 kms then south again. the only part that is still gravel is the hay river/fort smith section, but that is slowly getting chip-sealed. in the winter they punch a winter road straight south through fort chip to fort mac, and i always thought that is would make a great winter rally route.
fort mac has become a hellhole; when you drive the winter road south, you can tell that you're getting close by the green haze hanging on the horizon.
