School Fishing Trip

never sit at front of sled unless you like pain

Making the lagger

the valley the lake is in

Skiidoos and sleds

inside the Eskimo tent, we used as a cookhouse

Vents open

3 stove going

Freshly fried caribou

Ptamagins which the drives shot on the other side of the ridge. We were welcome to take but I forgot to bring some bags

Looking back towards town on way back about 25km out

It's that way, with my binoculars I could see the town

My winter kit was perfect 

On my back I took advice and laid on my back

Just chilling 

So I made a chili for supper, thanks to Maritime Madness

and I made the bannock to go.

 Our school took our  students out on the land the week of May 15-17 and again from May 23-25 depending on weather.. I went on Tuesday May 16, 2023.

Word of the day ROUGH! I rode in the sled and though had been told to sit on the back, I took the front as 2 students took the back.. Big mistake. Every bump we hit I felt from my lower back and no matter how I tried to cushion myself it just jarred.

However, when we got to the lake area, it was worth it.

I spent the day observing the area, acting as a bit of a bird watcher, polar bear sentry and fire watcher in the cook tent.

On the way back, having learned my lesson, I made sure to lay down and though it was still bumpy, the matresses and my pack kept me comfortable. I'll be adding pictures shortly
