The Road to Nowhere is an actual road in Iqaluit that heads north out of town and goes nowhere...it just kind of trails off in the tundra. It has gained some notoriety as a popular tourist spot in town. Originally, it was built to lead to a new dump site but then the city planners realized that perhaps having the dump overlook the city wasn't a great idea. And so the road leads ... to nowhere.
The Road to Nowhere does have a street sign that is continually being stolen despite being replaced again and again. Now, the city just doesn't replace the sign. So, Darlene had a great idea to make our own Road to Nowhere sign and take the must have tourist picture with it. A little spray paint, letter stencils and creative cutting lead to our creation. It was a proud moment to add our sign to the signpost.Now that our sign is made and hanging on the signpost, we'll wait and see how long it takes before it is stolen.
