Did anyone see this? It was on the History Channel tonight, a new series about truckers driving from Yellowknife north to the diamond mines on an ice road. Normally, when I see the hubby watching the History channel, I watch for a few minutes and then go do something else, but this totally enthralled me. I was loving some of the accents of the truckers (DEFINITELY Canadian!!!!)

I meant to watch it, but forgot all about it!! Watched Haertbreak Ridge instead!!

Yes we watched it and it was really good. My hubby is a truck driver and wouldn't dream of doing the ice roads!

A friend of mine used to drive up north, he had some stories to tell!

I meant to watch that, but we didn't get home last night in time -- is it a recurring show or one time only?

Ibelive it is i mini series!!

awesome! I'll look for it again

Yes, it is recurring. Sad to admit, but I have set the DVR to record all of the series, just in case I miss it .... but am planning on keeping my Sundays at 10 free just so I can watch this show!

Hubby and I watched it. You can go to the history channel website and pre-order the whole DVD series and you also get the Modern Marvels DVD about Ice Roads for free. This is the kind of stuff the husband likes to watch.... Modern Marvels, Frontiers of Construction, etc...

lol....I watched it too!!! Awesome show. I used to drive truck, but never up north....scary!!!!

i'll have to ask my fiance to start recording this on his DVR, sounds like a show i'd like a lot. my dad worked for environment canada for 37 years and did a LOT of trips up north to the small communities in NWT and YT. he's talked about some of the ice roads, and he's had some pretty interesting stories himself. sucks that i missed it, hopefully they re-air the episode from last night sometime this week again. was it the first episode of the series?

yep, was the 1st episode

Just in case anyone missed the first show, here are some show times. And no, I don't get a commission from the History Channel for promoting this show
