Snow Blizzard

Today the wind is blowing up a blizzard. The snow on the ground is so dry it blows around creating huge snow piles. Sometimes the road is blocked by these piles, they can also block your door. It is warming up just in time for DH. I am in a quick hurry in between trips to put my clothes in the good dreser before DH gets here or I will end up with the smaller one. Mr clean will have everything in ship shape, just have to mark my spots first. I have touched the channel changer without its cover....hee hee.
I fly out on Sunday again, this time for the south. Looking forward to have a quick visit with family. We will return on Friday and then I fly out on Sunday again to return to Cam Bay. Then I should be home for a few weeks before I head back to Kugaaruk.
They got the grizly bear that was around two weeks ago. They said he was very hungry, thanks goodness he didn't find me.
I hope to put up some more pics soon...

Cam Bay Today

I'm off to Cam Bay today. It is colder there so I am bringing all the long johns. Cam Bay is on Victoria Island.

Yesterday was warm and all day dripping off the roof. It is melting... I can't wait to see the breakup. The river breaks up first.

Happy Easter everyone!

Wishing all a happy Easter!

I am very lucky and have been invited for dinner tonight and Sunday night. People here are just so kind...

I get to see my mom and husband May 4 (my moms birthday), woohoo!

Frolics

Frolics has been a week of celebrating spring coming. There has been races on foot and machine. Dancing- drum and square. They had a huge Bingo for $10,000. on  Friday night. I went with a girl from work. She gave me a lift home on her machine. When I got on I said I was nervous riding on those things, So she said I'll show you a 360 and donuts (not the food kind). Well lest to say she spun me around as I screamed  head off.  I think I will do better if I drive it myself, not a good passenger.  
I head out to Cam Bay next week, looking forward to seeing Victoria Island. It is supposed to be much colder there, so I  will bring the long johns.

May I go to Vancouver, very excited about that. Hope to see my mom! Then I get to bring DH up here.

My stuff has arrived some of it didn't make the trip. So I have been busy unpacking and finding room for all the stuff.
Always Busy here!

Yellowknife and Walmart

I am stuck in Yellowknife due to weather in Cam Bay.I will be returning with diapers and formula for co-workers baby. They get excited to be shopping at Walmart or anyone going near it. I will be heading to home tomorrow (Kugluktuk) tomorrow and cancelling the trip to Cam Bay for this tour. I will be back on the road next week. I love the beds in this hotel. Beds in the north consist of sigle small butt beds. Sometimes 3 in a room and you pay per bed not per room as that can be shared. Thanks I didn't have to experience that! I have heard that some people wake up in the morning and there are people sleeping in the beds that were not there the night before. Well I am going to sprawl myself on the bed and enjoy it...

Rode a machine yesterday

Well it was a blizzard here in Kugaaruk yesterday so my flight was cancelled. So I worked the whole day. The girl I worked with gave me a  ride back to my hotel on her machine. I couldn't help but have some little screams every time we went over a bump or around the corners. We arrived without it dumping us which I thought was pretty good. (We were going very very slow, I'm sure I could have walked faster) I got off and went to say thanks for the ride and she nearly fell off from laughing. I said you heard me screaming she said "yup". I bet her dinner table was having a laugh.

Well today the weather is nice and I will work a bit and then fly out to Gjoa Haven.

Nice weather= walk thanks

Grizzly in town

I was told there has been a grizzly close to town, as I am walking to work. I said to the guy as long as I can run faster than you I'm ok. I know what he was thinking, he was ok... I said hey you would be surprised how fast I could run if I saw a grizzly. I have to change my yak tracs to my runners, boots are too heavy. NoWAY I am going to be bear bate, so long fella.

I moved to a very nice place, I have a gorgeous view of the Artic Ocean out my livingroom window. It has vaulted ceilings, and a newer building so the kitchen is modern. I love the pantry and storage areas (hiding places). I have received 8 peices of my 104 pieces. So I got my bed and my couches (without the cushions)  but they ripped my couch in a few places. I have had a issue with the moving co. they said they would reassemble everything they took apart. Now I'm here and they said nope we just dump it in the front door. Nic so some things I will not be able to get back together, like the lazy boys they removed the backs, which took three of them to remove. GRRR I told them if that is the case send them back. Battle on!

I leave tomorrow for the Kitikmeot region tour. I am sooo excited.
