On a lighter note (and almost anything could be), it was a beautiful day and finally warm after days of cold wind. However, warmth and windless means BUGS. Ken and Jonathan turned back, but Janine and I made it all the way. As you will see in some photos, I had a bug net for my head. Best Dollarama purchase ever.
Sorry - some pics are repeats from "Round the Bend".
This is the view looking west - towards the airport.

Jonathan and Ken
Jonathan is a first year teacher from PEI - fresh out of university. Ken came out of retirement to help them out in Baker Lake. He had taught here last year and will leave at Christmas as he has a contract teaching at a university. Both ends of the teaching spectrum!
Arctic Cotton
This is a campsite. There are raised platforms for tents.
Can you spot the helicopter? It had a load hanging from it; very interesting to watch.
I call this "Drum Design".
We think it is a family of ptarmigan.
Our destination
Baker Lake from a distance.
The long building near the middle is the high school. My place is further back and to the left.
