From Boating to Skidooing in 16 Hours....Woow!!!!


 Last night it was -20 cel. (-5F) and no wind... It froze both the lakes and creeks overnight.  Yesterday we went boating and checked out traps... today Bryan went and got the boat motor.  We will drag the boat back to the cabin once we can travel safely with skidoos on the lake.




A female Bufflehead Duck.  Vikki saw a far away bird but couldn't see if it was the Juvenile Loon.

Everywhere in the water we could see floating ice crystals...It is the first time for us to witness this fast freeze up.


 Every time we drive by this cliff we expect to see the slice has fallen into the water.
 There is only 8" of Fluff for snow.  Last year Vikki went out when there was only 6" of snow and she got herself hurt pretty badly when her skidoo threw she onto a tree.  Bryan is heading down to set traps towards the Inklin, on Vikki's 2009 Tundra 300.

Very jealous of the fantastic scenery! (So jealous in fact that the distraction of it all prompted a number of typos in my previous comment :)
