I have adventurejs.club on hover, but it is going to expire in a couple of days. I don't think I need to keep it up - we haven't done much with this this last year, and I feel that the domain is just unnecessary.
Anyone who feels differently, let me know!
Did someone just enable this for this org?
...why?
Picture taken from this article.
I want to go on the Tshiuetin Rail from Sept-Îles, Québec to Schefferville, Quebec. The train is one of the few non-connected train systems in North America, and takes around 12 hours to complete the journey.
In Schefferville, we can revel in being in one of the few communities with no road access to the outside world, but train access, much like Whittier, Alaska. There is a bar, a restaurant, a church, and a McGill outpost station. Most of the inhabitants speak Innu, which I don't know at all. We can figure that out.
I fully expect to work the days I am there, while walking around, which will allow us to both hang out in a new place, and to get good remote work done. win win.
The train arrives leaves on Monday and Thursday from Sept-Îles, and goes back on Tuesday and Friday, so I want to stay either during the week or over a long weekend. Getting to Sept-Îles will take some time, too, so expect the whole thing to take roughly 8 days.
Late September, Early October. The sooner the better, as it is about to get cold.
Train: $175 Roundtrip
Accommodation:
The cost of renting a place for the night in Schefferville is around $80 on AirBnB. However, they also have CouchSurfing there, and I want to try that, first. But I need to figure out dates.
In Sept-Îles, there is a Youth Hostel for around $30 a night, which makes that much easier, and many couchsurfing hosts. I'm not concerned here. If we do it fast enough, we can also camp on the beach in my tent.
Travel to Sept-Îles: I am planning on hitching, but may take the train from Montréal to Québec City, or take a car using Amigo Express if I can find one. There is also a train from Montréal to Saguenay, which takes ten hours, which should have wifi, but it is expensive. Another alternative is to rent a car for the duration of the trip, which would cost around $200 total.
There is no wifi on the train. I've looked into various internet solutions - the best seems to be either buying a BGAN terminal for around $700, which would give us 100mbs, which should cover the two days we need it. If we split the cost, this isn't so bad.
There is wifi in both Sept-îles and in Schefferville.
Anyone! It would be great to have others on board for this. I can put you up in Montréal if you want to come here first, and we could head over together.
