| Gen is on a trowley from Canadian Tire. |
The generator and the water pump are up by the wood stove... We've gone back to when we first came here....buckets of water everywhere...and water is heated on the wood stove for doing dishes.
We did 200 meters on Walkers Trail today... we are only 4 1/2 to 5 km from the line cabin. this pic is of us leaving. It you had seem the same pic when we got back .... it would have been alot different... but I was far too frozen to stop and take a pic. My left cheek was telling me I had frostbite.
This is a nice 34 lb male Wolverine. We followed it's trail along our skidoo path past 2 feed stations ( this is where the wolf meat, squirrel meat, martin meat lies for feeding the eagles, Ravins and Canadian Jays) It circled the meat but kept going on our trail along the lake... where finally the wolverine went into one of the trap boxes.
At night we are listening to the radio.... We tried CNN but they have gotten ridiculous... talking about silly stuff. It has turned into a gossip station. We turned to the CBC North and listened to an hour on a Moslim women and her childhood. She is guarded by every nations police force because she is telling how she grew up. She has written "Nomad" and "Infidel". A very interesting woman. Well worth the listening to.
Art... we really enjoy your comments. The wolves were about 75lbs. These were not the dominate pair or main group. Just the followers of a big pack. The big pack came again but didn't go into the snare spots. They went to where we had piled a lot of dead squirrels. We are heading down to the Inklin tomorrow to see if they came back. Re: the rock. We tried a 5 gal pale of rocks last year and it did work.
What a heat wave! We are still -38C tonight and the wind is taking that to nearly -50. The boys are getting a bit of cabin fever!
