I just spent the last half hour trying to get all that CT shit off,don't give em any more fuel

   

Nice night tonight.

   

Keep the pics coming Ziggy.

They are fascinating.

   

If you ever get lost in the semi-permafrosted wilderness of Nunavut, simply go to the nearest igloo and hope there is a hot single Inuit female there where you can make some heat yourselves.

   

Chopper,these two choppers fly steady,rock everywhere as far as the eye can see.

   

Base camp

   

Big gold mine going to happen here.

   

Needless to say I was wondering what I got myself into when we flew in.

   

Huge polar bear in Churchill airport.

   

Who's going to operate it?

   

This is where I'll be spending the next 6 weeks.

   

Should start on the 125 klik road this winter. No bugs,i'll take the snow.

   

This is horrible stuff and it's all over,you scrape the thawed part off and you can drive on it for one day,then it turns to slop.Under the mud is the hardest rock I have ever ran a cat over and it's all over the place.

   

These two have been hanging around my tent the last few days,should get some closer ones in a day or so.The big Cariboo migration you see on tv all the time happens about 70 miles south of here at baker lake. I work with one of the Innu locals and he says you can sit in your tent for 3 days watching them go by in a line 100 feet wide,hundreds of thousands of cariboo cruise or swim across the lake. When I asked him why they did it he said "I dont know....I think they want to get shot". Hunting and fishing is everything to these people,quads,boats and skidoos are the principle means of transportation.The small settlements have a taxi or two and an rcmp cruiser but there isnt any roads to the world for about 800 miles in any direction so no need for 4 wheels.

   

Hey ziggy.....any bears???
