Boston Camp - Nunavut - "As The Drill Turns"

Okay, So I've been at Boston Camp for about 3 weeks now the First 2 weeks Jessa was here. We had a great time going out for walks to the Inukchuk and down to the Lake...Jessa even found a Rock Gym for doing step ups.... I unfortunately didn't see any Northern Lights yet but perhaps I'll still see some......Check out the Bear that greeted us at the airport in Yellowknife. We flew in on a tiny plane which I'm sure I could reach across. This plane actually couldn't get in today because of fog so I am stranded here for an extra day..... In the pictures you can see Jessa on the plane and a view from my seat up to the front... Behind me was the cargo. It was very cold and loud... we had to wear earplugs and there was no inflight movie or lunch.... In this next picture you can see the Lake... It's called Spider Lake.... and we are well within the Arctic Circle..... The Lake froze completely a couple of days ago.... I have some pics of the frozen lake... And Jessa, we (Maureen, Bella, and I) got around to that point you wanted to hike to after the lake froze we walked across the narrow part....

The Bear.......

Okay so we've got someone new in Camp... it's a 2 year old black bear.... His name is Bernard and he likes garbage... the Game Warden has come and put a trap in I'll get a picture of it to post with this....(eventually).... I've gotten a look at him twice... fortunately neither time was at 5 am when I go down to the kitchen to make breaky...... anyways... he showed up yesterday just before Lunch and was chased away by Mike (some important management type) throwing rocks and hollaring "get out of here you stupid bear" Not certain if this was part of his training but he's a natual with the bear.... Later at Dinner time Bernard came back.... now this time the french guys up here deceided to take care of Bernard.... they used a truck.... Bernard seem to be not too afraid of trucks... and french guys seem to be not to afraid of Bears..... anyways, I am now armed with an air horn, Bear spray and a radio as I walk to the kitchen in the morning.... Well I'll updaye everyone as to when bernard gets caught he has a tasty mix of pineapple, sardines and Molasses as bait in the cage so it won't be to long.... he just needs to find the door... Walk around the trap Bernard... stupid bear..... talk to everyone soon.....

Thanks for reading My Blog.....

I love that people are actually reading my Blog and leaving comments I think it was a good Idea and a good way to keep in touch.... Yes Lisa I will have people put the spoon where the "Sun don't shine" if some one shakes a spoon at me again... and I will try to be home before the end of the year Meghan so let Mom know... Right now I am in the Yukon just outside of a little place called Mayo... it's a great group of people and the it's really pretty up here I have to get some pictures taken with the digital camera and I will post them as well as a few from the Quebec Camp as soon as I can.... The have a compter room here for the people at the camp and flush toilets so this is a pretty swishy camp... Ohhh and a lot of the drillers here are from New Brunswick... isn't that funny... they seem pretty happy with the food so far just gotta keep it simple Meat and Potatoes and Lots of Veggies... anyways I had better go now gotta shower and get some sleep... I work at 5am......
