    We've gotten fresh crab from a vendor at the farmer's market
    We're about 150 miles inland.

    From Vancouver inland to Edmonton and then north to Yellowknife is
    1600 miles. With a stopover in Edmonton off-loading, changing
    carriers and reloading figure four days by truck if I'm lucky.

    1600 miles is a 2-day trip so long as the mid-route handling does not
    consume more than a few hours. But, then I don't know what the roads
    are like leading to you.

    The last time I had fresh crab was the last time we visited
    Vancouver which was quite a few years ago.

    Time for another trip?

    This summer we are staying put: the grandkids are coming here. The
    two youngest ones can now fly unaccompanied. They'll arrive tomorrow.
    And the oldest one will drive here with her guy and the baby about 2
    weeks after that. Travel and self isolation restrictions (for fully vaccinated Canadian residents) were also lifted on July 3.

    That will likely be the highlight of your summer.
