We loaded up a large luggage dolly and wheeled it into the Nova Court. I ...

... clothes and headed straight to town, past an energy plant that sounded like there were screaming monkeys being turned into pure atomic energy. We cried a little inside just to know that this might be happening in a country as free and responsible as Canada. But for all of our concern, we continued on our merry way into town. Keith's hairdresser told us to find the giant eggrolls, so we stopped at the tourist office and asked the man there where to get them ...

... a 15 dollar campsite, which we later found out had train tracks near by we lead to a lot of load crashing sounds throughout the evening. Day 5 the home stretch. This is probably the first time in a long time i was really looking forward to going home.

... Ridge Rest Area, where the entire horizon was a series of cragged mountain peaks. Now how many people in Canada have seen this unforgettable sight? Shortly thereafter, I descended a steep stretch of road covered in snow and ice. At that point, I was overtaken with grave concerns about my ability to gain enough traction to climb back up this steep hill on my way back. The only way I could assuage my trepidation was to tell myself that I was going to buy tire ...

... Reserve, Kakisa, Nahanni Butte and Trout Lake. The last two communities are only accessible by air and ice roads in the winter. Each community is known by its own First Nations name.

... our overnight trip and had enough food for the whole day. Our bigger concern was really for Chuck and Hooman, because not only was it bad for them work-wise that we were in this predicament (it isn't usual for pilots to charter planes from their company for fun and this would certainly put an end to that practice for others) but it was compounded because we had gone outside normal protocol and didn't let the airline dispatch know that we had changed destinations in ...
