I'm thinking about doing the Far North Insanity (FNI). But, before I commit, it would be nice to have a small but critical clarification on ride documentation.
The FNI rules say : " If you cannot get a DBR [ Dated Business Receipt], you must take a picture, including your motorcycle, to PROVE you were in each location. Remember it is YOUR responsibility to prove your starting point, route, and ending point. Spotwalla goes a long way towards this proof. "
The key word for me is "cannot" get a receipt. When crossing from BC into the NW Territory, the road turns to gravel and the next place to get a receipt is 20 miles north at Fort Liard. So, technically, you can get a receipt at Fort Liard, NWT but I would rather not ride my FJR 40 miles on gravel and possibly muddy road. Not to mention the real possibility of navigating through bison on the road. Ideally, I would like to get a pic of my bike about 100 yards or so on the north side of the point at which you cross into the NWT and additionally document that with Spotwalla. Plus, I could also take a pic of my GPS showing the map and Lat & Long.
Would that satisfy the IBA ?
