Finally...a day out on the land. I haven't been out on skidoo since the Spring I was in Pangnirtung. I've been going through major withdrawal. My friend L took me out for about 4 hours on Saturday. We had a fantastic day. We headed out the bay went down past Apex then back into town and up the river in the park and then out the road to nowhere to end up back in Apex before heading home. It was fantastic.







For Sale? Prime piece of real estate out the river past the airport. It looked like a great spot for a cabin and who ever owns it is very lucky.


All good things must come to an end. Actually, the site of a very minor accident. No one was hurt in the making of this picture...just lots of laughs, giggles and a few "Are you ok?" Coming down the hill and L misjudged the slop we ended up banging head first into a rock. The skidoo unharmed we simply pulled it around and headed out again.


The hill where the misjudgement took place.




Taken dockside in Iqaluit.


Almost perfect framing.

Oh yeah, that old camera is working just fine! Terrific pics. Felt like I was out on that skidoo trip. Felt the rock and everything!

OK J,
'cause you're a girl an everything, I'll give you one more chance..... You were NOT out on a "skidoo", you were out on a SNOWMOBILE or you were out on a YAMAHA. You wouldn't get on a plane and tell us you were boarding a Mcdonnell D would you? Especially if it were an Airbus!
I expect a full apology and retraction in the next blog.
Meanwhile, it is still nice to hear about your adventures. Come to Toronto sometime and I'll buy you dinner and make sure you don't make the same mistake again....
Take care
D.

Where I am “skidoo” covers all makes and models. “Skill saw” covers all makes of circular saws and “Honda” covers all makes of 4 wheelers. When in Rome so to speak.
