Life has taken an unexpected turn. I have found myself recently falling into depression. I signed into a treatment center in Vancouver. Its a brave new world. I have been sober now for 2.5 weeks and feel great. The love and support from family and close friends is overwhelming. I can beat this addiction.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-35336702246465906152011-04-09T13:26:00.000-07:002011-04-09T13:26:17.766-07:00Moving<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRa3M5GSjRlxZkEBdnAzA6yC5zjRFkJulZ1gXZSvQTCokrHUlsX5R8AwfzfxxAZcsOYdHraOWIhdU-yiPISy_P4L1B_L7Z1X6vzMjoNpGPUy2ODIG0mkLmCSpAU2eY5B1BaKEU5Agh7o92/s1600/Copy+of+Victoria+035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRa3M5GSjRlxZkEBdnAzA6yC5zjRFkJulZ1gXZSvQTCokrHUlsX5R8AwfzfxxAZcsOYdHraOWIhdU-yiPISy_P4L1B_L7Z1X6vzMjoNpGPUy2ODIG0mkLmCSpAU2eY5B1BaKEU5Agh7o92/s320/Copy+of+Victoria+035.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

So nice here. I have found a full time job in a hotel, working as a handy man/maintance man. The pay isn't the greatest but I am working everyday, and staying busy. which is the point to all of this isn't it. Here are a few of the pictures that I have taken in the last little while. It is so nice being back in a city, with people around and warmth. I just love the fresh food, and the lower prices not having to remember about the freight. I am sure that I will return to the north sometime, there is part of me that misses it already. But for the next little while I am going to call Victoria home.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-9620061015051770272010-12-21T00:21:00.000-08:002010-12-21T00:21:34.457-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitduwfsbyseh2QbLRzcUxG2Hwrhyurzh4mJPapJyYStRzCB8a2xSfialtw3O_iyNRCD62gZXjar51fkykJ9FFCfZxhX59eFtdKy953BP5qlqelGwkzKSDwaA5G8LUrc4ofyyfjBVVrIGDf/s1600/Eclipse+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitduwfsbyseh2QbLRzcUxG2Hwrhyurzh4mJPapJyYStRzCB8a2xSfialtw3O_iyNRCD62gZXjar51fkykJ9FFCfZxhX59eFtdKy953BP5qlqelGwkzKSDwaA5G8LUrc4ofyyfjBVVrIGDf/s320/Eclipse+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>What a night for the lunar eclipse, it was fantastic. The weather was great, and I even got a great shot or two. It is 130 am, and I was trying to wait for the other side to come out but I may have to get going to bed.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-22685198004064977012010-12-12T21:42:00.000-08:002010-12-12T21:42:39.026-08:00LearningAfter a while you learn<br />
the difference<br />
holding a hand or changing a soul<br />
and you learn<br />
love doesn't mean leaning<br />
and company doesn't mean security<br />
kisses aren't contracts<br />
presents aren't promises<br />
and you learn<br />
with your head up and your eyes open<br />
accepting your defeats<br />
and you learn<br />
to build your roads today<br />
because tomorrow's too<br />
uncertain ground<br />
and futures have a way of falling down<br />
mid-flight<br />
and you learn<br />
sunshine burns if you get too much<br />
plant your garden<br />
decorate your soul<br />
instead of waiting for flowers<br />

She really likes the outdoors, and walking. Last night we went for a nice long walk then too bed early. Kuma woke me up with a generous face licking, and out we went, she hasn't gone to the washroom in the house. She likes just handing out right beside me...last night she slept right at the foot of the bed.<br />
The wind has really picked up again, but it is not really snowing just blowing around. We went out for about 45 mins, I had to were the goggles that I bought for the blizzard. I have never trained a dog on my own before...This should be fun, but Kuma seems to be pretty smart. I hope that its not a difficult task.<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=christisnorth-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000FMDIL6&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-70889378365241916832010-11-27T15:55:00.000-08:002010-11-27T15:55:16.460-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHqjLzQdTfExaIHGlD_3rhjzEp8kDiIWfsLfjom-U3wjLEMH0i2maUaRXE0ppGt4LDN_e1hu1VGWVdImEew8kzFE3rD2w64nUXq4xNNb8_iJUkCY2bQWr6oxx9IxKmXmLays0nV1FB7-oy/s1600/CambridgeBay+068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHqjLzQdTfExaIHGlD_3rhjzEp8kDiIWfsLfjom-U3wjLEMH0i2maUaRXE0ppGt4LDN_e1hu1VGWVdImEew8kzFE3rD2w64nUXq4xNNb8_iJUkCY2bQWr6oxx9IxKmXmLays0nV1FB7-oy/s320/CambridgeBay+068.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

The wind was so strong, I was being blown around. After the snow passed the town was still closed for a full day, the snow drifts in place were 15 feet tall. I will post some more photo's of after the storm tomorrow. I am really enjoying Cambridge Bay, it is a very friendly community. Tonight there is a fundraiser for the daycare, with a dinner and silent auction then some dancing...I am NOT a dancer, but I am sure that the dinner will be fun.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-27007061736145118662010-11-21T23:00:00.001-08:002010-11-21T23:00:38.882-08:00Blizzard WarningsThe weather for the next three days from Enviroment Canada<br />

The wind was blowing at 45 mph, and gusting up to 60 mph. It was insane today, then I was told that this was nothing!!!! I think that this is a great invention, it might work in the city not very useful around here. Currently it is 10:41 pm, and the wind is blowing so hard that my second floor apartment is moving, enough that I can feel it. It is a kinda freaky feeling...<br />
<br />
So today at work was an interesting day...This afternoon, a gentleman came in requesting something that the store does not do, when I advised him that it was against head office policy he told me that he no one needed to know about it. Then I reiterated that we would not be able to help him in the way he would like. Well I was called every name in the in the book, plus a few other choice curse words.

</tbody></table>So I have finally made it to Cambridge Bay Nunavut. I absolutely love it here. I have a fantastic apartment, there will be more pictures to follow. We are going into the dark winter months here, I leave for work and the sun is just rising, around 8 am, then by 3 pm it is dark already. I was planning on going into work on Thursday because the store is closed, I can do alot more to try and get caught up. The new position has more challenges, but is so nice to be in control of the department. I do have my work cut out for me trying to get things back in order, and the way that head office would like it to look.<br />
From where I live is about to work is a nice 10 minute walk. The town here is much more built up than Tuk, even the way the village is layed out. <br />
I am really hoping to get more pictures, of the village and some of the sights, in the next couple of days.<br />

</tbody></table>Well I knew that it was coming but the days are sure getting shorter, I just took these photos this morning. The sunn is just about visible. The last week has been pretty nice here, avg temperatures I think nothing that is unbeardable. Yesterday we got some more snow, just a little bit. Like 3" or so.<br />
On Monday, I accepted a new job posting in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. I have already started packing, and sending out some boxes. When I spoke to my new district manager on Monday he said that I would be leaving in approx. 2 weeks. I am so excited to see another part of this great country of ours. I LOVE CANADA. Really we have such a great country, with some much culture that mostly goes unnoticed. I have been taught so much by the people here in Tuk, and Fort Good Hope, if you are ever given the opportunity to travel to either of these places I would strongly recommend it.<br />
As I have been here now for 6 months I have come to realize that there is no regular business hours that the rest of the world live by. Town events are commence on any given day, today there is a fishing derby. It starts a 12:30 pm and runs until 6:00pm then there is warm drinks and prizes afterwards.<br />

A 21 y/o man beat a 60 y/o man so badly that he had to be medivac'd out of Tuk with blood coming from his ears. They first took him to Inuvik, then quickly sent him onto Edmonton. That same 21 y/o male beat the older woman that was in the house. The alcohol in this community is insane, there is currently 3 different bootleggers that can be called at any given time and will sell a 40 oz bottle of whiskey for 200$. I have even heard of kids as young as 15 purchasing these bottles. I am simple appalled at what happened to this old man, when ever he was in the store he was polite, and reserved.<br />
It is not uncommon to see people in the store on a regular basis with black eyes, I suppose it is a part of the life being up here. I can't deal with that. Last night I had a couple of people over for the weekly highlight of Bingo. I didn't win again, but it was fun. One of the girls won and the first thing she did was call the bootlegger. I guess when this is all you know, then that is what you do...<br />

So I put Big Bird in the oven around lunch time, then had to go over to the store to unload some freight. I came home and the house was really starting to smell good. This is the first time I have ever tried cooking a turkey, I must say it turned damn fine. Juicy tasty goodness! I really do love turkey, I think that by the time I am done going through what is left over, I might feel different about it. So when there was an hour left in the cooking time I ventured outside for a walk around the community. The wind was really blowing like it usually is, but I think that I got some good shots, I especially like the one of the kids using a GT to go down the hill onto the road. Nothing surprises me anymore...<br />
I think that I have found the perfect recipe a Ceasar...2 oz Vodka, 3 ice cubes, tablespoon of HP sauce, worcheshire 3 -4 shakes, 2 lime wedges, pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon of horseradish, 1 stalk of celery. Enjoy<br />

Here are some random picture from the last couple of weeks, I can't believe that it is Thanks Giving Weekend already. I bought a turkey, the first one ever. I am sure that it can't be that hard to cook it. In the last two weeks, it has snowed almost ever day. Not for the whole day or anything but it has been substantial. The wind has blown most of it away, however the snow machines are running ever where. I would say that there is about 5 -7 inches of snow.<br />
Today was the first day that I have tried baking anything in a long time, I will let you know how it turned out...Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-22947333408210018072010-10-04T11:47:00.000-07:002010-10-04T11:47:00.146-07:00Back in TukWell it has been awhile since I have been here. I have been back in Tuk for about 2 weeks now, and in that time a lot has changed. The weather is the big thing. Last night it was snowing and blowing steady, this morning not much accumulation here, but it continues to fall. The wind just keeps on blowing it around. We are supposed to get a container today, so unloading in the wind will be fun. There is around 4" of snow on the ground already, and the lakes already have ice on the top. The edges of the ocean are starting to freeze. At night the temp. dips down to -15 to -18. <br />
The northern lights the other night were amazing, I have been online looking at camera's, not really in my budget right now, but maybe sometime in the near future. They are amazing!!!Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-64133266196138519912010-09-12T10:58:00.001-07:002010-09-12T10:58:57.236-07:00I have temporarily lost my internet connection, but have lots of pictures to post, and tell about from the last two weeks here in Norman Well.

Wow I just went for the greatest hike, and think that it was possiblly one of the best days of my life. I had such a great day. The hike down the Goat Trail was so steep, like a 75 degree down grade. There are ropes on hills for safety, then there are ropes that you have to use. In this case it is the latter reason. The path is around 16 inches wide and nice and easy at first then it drops off. It was interesting trying to find a crossing for all the creeks. There must have been 5 different tributaries, all like 8 ft wide. The valley was so breathe taking being out there all alone, it was quiet and peaceful. Amazing. I was very successful in finding any fossils in Fossil Canyon but to be honest I wasn't really looking that hard, I was more interested in making my way up the river to the waterfall.

So last night I stayed up late well I guess late for me, at 2 am I finally got a great shot of Mars, it was so hazy that I didnt think that I was going to be able to get it. The rest of these pics are from my last few days, around town and Jackfish Lake. tomorrow I am going hiking to fossil canyon, and will have more great pics. I have to say I am excited to get back to Tuk, not that being in Norman Wells isn't fun. However this town is kinda like home, nice to be here for a visit, but I want to experience the north.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-50177549100247527472010-08-25T09:44:00.000-07:002010-08-25T09:44:53.618-07:00<a href="http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/sport/pool-dunks.html">http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/sport/pool-dunks.html</a>Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-6499850863729132352010-08-22T23:52:00.000-07:002010-08-22T23:52:05.683-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkIPezZ8TncaPBPcNSkdcjn6oth1Rzg8GF5eJ4qpMLxpW8iK8kUg81JmnZ8q-2zJTVXd-3nZ8gnbaVaMS4Jv_sjzsfWrFNWlxPOKHfCFaUmlI0wf-OqH7sSqy5iy8IK2HXjZhsmBZoh56/s1600/Norman+Wells+099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkIPezZ8TncaPBPcNSkdcjn6oth1Rzg8GF5eJ4qpMLxpW8iK8kUg81JmnZ8q-2zJTVXd-3nZ8gnbaVaMS4Jv_sjzsfWrFNWlxPOKHfCFaUmlI0wf-OqH7sSqy5iy8IK2HXjZhsmBZoh56/s320/Norman+Wells+099.jpg" /></a></div><br />

What a great little park, there is a small look out with three or four bbq's. A dock with 4 canoes, if you take your own paddles you can use the canoes. Next time I will be going canoeing for sure. It was quite a drive to get to the lake, but fully worth it. On the way back Cheyenne took me to the ski cabin, which is kinda off the beaten path. It is an old log cabin on the top of a hill over looking the village. Anyone from town is allowed to use it. There is a fire pit with a bunch of chairs, and benches. Then inside more benchs with a large air tight store. and one window. This is such a great idea, all winter long the cabin is used. there is also an outhouse with two holes. Couples bathroom???<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=christisnorth-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002H6GY2S&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-52212898056495837922010-08-22T10:24:00.000-07:002010-08-22T10:24:49.964-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

So I haven't posted anything in about 9 days, I have been very busy. The store is extremely busy. Plus Norman Wells is a very cool little town. If I was to be asked to stay here I could definitely see that happening. I have been out fishing yet, but have plans for going on a hike on Wednesday to fossil canyon, and Dodo falls. I can't wait. It is going to be so much fun, from what I understand it is a 1.5 hr hike up to the falls, but fully worth it. Norman Wells is surrounded my mountians on one side, and foot hills on the other. I know that it there must be some great views from here, however the clouds have been so low for the last week and a half that I have only been able to get one shot, so far. Oh well, maybe on Wed. when I go hiking I can get some great shotsChristian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-34169295025074037562010-08-11T21:30:00.000-07:002010-08-11T21:30:03.474-07:00Norman WellsI arrived in Norman Wells, on August 9 it was a great day for traveling. I will never get tired of the landscape in the Northwest territories. I really think that when I get to the airport they pick the smallest plane possible then send me in that. Dave Bruce we were in a plane just like yours. It was a Cessna 160, that I took from Fort Good Hope to Norman Wells. I had no idea they did this flew in such small planes, but economical and fun. We flew pretty low, and could really see the ground most of the way. Only for a little bit were we above the clouds, when we went over the Franklin mountains, but I really don't think that they look like mountains more like foothills.<br />
So I have been walking around town, and there is so much oil here there are man made islands that are just for the pumps. Plus there is three or four pump right in town. I don't have any pictures yet, the weather has been terrible the last few days.Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-5485262676511023992010-08-08T18:16:00.000-07:002010-08-08T18:16:21.043-07:00Last day in Fort Good Hope<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz8tjYklQUMad5F-C1iPoJ3LAgY9mxV649O8SqRFFdz0D59BR4bo__br1e8O4mxoQ1OMKFeHnvNAHiSIHb9hg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />

So WOW, yesterday I had the day off. It was great, I will let the pictures do the talking. I woke up around noon perfect, and made some breakfast. Shortly after Angelina called she is Fredricks Mother. Anyways Angelina asked if I could help the fix the cabin. So I went out to the camp to help. A bear had made its way into the main cabin, through the back wall! So we repaired it, then had dinner. After dinner we hiked up to the top of the cliffs, and the view was amazing. On the way down I discovered an Artesian Well, so I had some water it was the best tasting water ever, and was already cold. This happens a lot up here I was told, the permafrost melting and making it way to the surface. When we got back to the camp Fredricks father asked us to clean out the net, so we did. There was like 10 Koni in it plus a couple of halibut, a pike and pickeral. It took awhile to get all the fish out, and reset the net. The we went up the river to the rapids, called the Ramparts, and the most spectacular spot for camping! Just before the rapids, two rivers intersect. The Mackenzie and the Ramparts. The Ramparts runs directly from the mountains, and in the spring is a very fast flowing river.<br />

</tbody></table>This how strong the current is in the main channel of the Mackenzie River where the barges navigate up and down the river. We went a little further up the river then went to the shore where Fred was telling me the there was fossils of turtle shells. WOW I thought, but it was actually round rocks that are marked just like a turtle. On the way back we went by some of the same cliffs that I was at a few weeks ago, but the face had fallen off into the river. Well I took a few more pictures on the way back to the camp, said good bye to Frank and Angelina, and Fred dropped me off at the point. That was a great day and a great way to remember Fort Good Hope!Christian's Northern Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207720881460004086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863275670183752332.post-4975751645832209202010-08-06T22:39:00.000-07:002010-08-06T22:39:01.937-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkgmlKl4Cvp5kuB6lPk9oSfKF9zaNgoC4EA0QrjRcO0siUiGk5aYG_MfoIq4HzH1pOQh_hpWDofCh33-Ikgzg4naUZkQTRJU8ExiAwH8khor38TNDAvtnNpKzkQiM9Wrc2A7aYmXc8TSw/s1600/church+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkgmlKl4Cvp5kuB6lPk9oSfKF9zaNgoC4EA0QrjRcO0siUiGk5aYG_MfoIq4HzH1pOQh_hpWDofCh33-Ikgzg4naUZkQTRJU8ExiAwH8khor38TNDAvtnNpKzkQiM9Wrc2A7aYmXc8TSw/s320/church+011.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtEQqoMbbbnFxkDR65dZivX7B8MFGnm_P7yXLn-1p6GiSMPu-jlRX9fGUJWl6d_tcd1byp5_hsWHQbeJtGOpja5e3IrUott2aeyxbIrmyK49rsvOLR476SZ5QiE9ZBtRoZ7vsq5Al2twG0/s1600/church+012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtEQqoMbbbnFxkDR65dZivX7B8MFGnm_P7yXLn-1p6GiSMPu-jlRX9fGUJWl6d_tcd1byp5_hsWHQbeJtGOpja5e3IrUott2aeyxbIrmyK49rsvOLR476SZ5QiE9ZBtRoZ7vsq5Al2twG0/s320/church+012.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhhGrUmefSlmo_Dl5S1CK3tngKbPknCKlmE4gfhFguHsCR7wZOrN6kPdBRC-f7GE27ck-sZXfWNQcNnohc5_l2DviNPgJecfImAENYq3VTQrgTGm84BJov48JrMYumyWJebR4llBxvgbaV/s1600/church+015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhhGrUmefSlmo_Dl5S1CK3tngKbPknCKlmE4gfhFguHsCR7wZOrN6kPdBRC-f7GE27ck-sZXfWNQcNnohc5_l2DviNPgJecfImAENYq3VTQrgTGm84BJov48JrMYumyWJebR4llBxvgbaV/s320/church+015.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPdjSfP5eN96dsXf7Kw05_s9rdwQj4eeAg_WTvoi_hKKvbN5wt8z-dC2eenz8OIO3kH_48jDfw2AvN42_q8hhhdmViYQJhzFznzUCBhuvTro22xqqcc1oChEYwr-5pw-ckhvkIjqiCqfQO/s1600/church+014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPdjSfP5eN96dsXf7Kw05_s9rdwQj4eeAg_WTvoi_hKKvbN5wt8z-dC2eenz8OIO3kH_48jDfw2AvN42_q8hhhdmViYQJhzFznzUCBhuvTro22xqqcc1oChEYwr-5pw-ckhvkIjqiCqfQO/s320/church+014.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Jv35QzFv__XqmXLNiGY6fXwqf0dAuO_CynX_VizrAfBiOWEScngxLZQds_RRlalf4mLvVw_nP4hIyluUM4RbOU7g0kunX2BEDOlXZ-s2vNNOYF-oaH3AnrK2kZFYdbVAMd3-43MMsK1m/s1600/church+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Jv35QzFv__XqmXLNiGY6fXwqf0dAuO_CynX_VizrAfBiOWEScngxLZQds_RRlalf4mLvVw_nP4hIyluUM4RbOU7g0kunX2BEDOlXZ-s2vNNOYF-oaH3AnrK2kZFYdbVAMd3-43MMsK1m/s320/church+013.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYU-RMN1t3737XqCVwhPXxjxSVQTo8ZjgVyglQLa3CbN8CzZ816d7Y1GydrqcYnONb4T2G1iKQTjVPUWqNkXCDb6EE1RLtfjnaGFN8QNS_w8TmOqVTgUc0nTpKUBl6bsTn6SBjJm2feqt/s1600/church+017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYU-RMN1t3737XqCVwhPXxjxSVQTo8ZjgVyglQLa3CbN8CzZ816d7Y1GydrqcYnONb4T2G1iKQTjVPUWqNkXCDb6EE1RLtfjnaGFN8QNS_w8TmOqVTgUc0nTpKUBl6bsTn6SBjJm2feqt/s320/church+017.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSdbIPkvW2znqxgXan62tMNbC_m5iiwvIurCOH66k5eXAy_rKwydG3JdTmXt6SHV6RMJ1EbxXI3Yht1EucvOEBmHVOgJdEdKHCYbYei7JKQ4uV_6sPQ1YJwL6Pr1snvAlGSQZH3lHPUD0/s1600/church+019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSdbIPkvW2znqxgXan62tMNbC_m5iiwvIurCOH66k5eXAy_rKwydG3JdTmXt6SHV6RMJ1EbxXI3Yht1EucvOEBmHVOgJdEdKHCYbYei7JKQ4uV_6sPQ1YJwL6Pr1snvAlGSQZH3lHPUD0/s320/church+019.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEobFey6OnoiVgcKCL8j0XmPBAwVCEwvhDINqliu1N46m5jIlXFvWR_kcv5C_6ZwUEv0CXCLRGryETRac_APUjB0FThSghEzP0GCjUbMHKb5ww06FIz6QmTzZKLE1TQzZ2ijh1iXT3eikc/s1600/church+021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEobFey6OnoiVgcKCL8j0XmPBAwVCEwvhDINqliu1N46m5jIlXFvWR_kcv5C_6ZwUEv0CXCLRGryETRac_APUjB0FThSghEzP0GCjUbMHKb5ww06FIz6QmTzZKLE1TQzZ2ijh1iXT3eikc/s320/church+021.jpg" /></a></div><br />

So tonight was given the keys the Fort Good Hope Catholic church. A couple of weeks ago I did a posting about the church with all the pictures of the outside. People told me how great the paintings were inside, but it is grand. They are all original, and hand painted between 1880 and 1885. All of the wood working, the arches columns are all original. They have been taken care of remarkably well given their age. I was astonished at the inside, the ceiling is painted royal blue with gold stars, and the huge round stained glass window casts the brilliant glow of yellow, red, and blue over everything. I was very luck with this opportunity. Just yesterday my travel intinary was faxed through. On Monday morning I am heading off to Norman Wells. I have heard different things, about it. I believe that Norman Wells is an oil town, with most of the employment coming from ESSO.

I am used to Bobcaygeon and all the tourists. The bridge swinging, the lights flashing, and bells chiming. The water traffic, and who can forget beers on patios! That is what it was, I would love an ice cold bottle of Miller. I think that dad might have something to do with that. I think it was Miller High Life back then though. In such a small town, with 3 stop signs there really isn't that much to do on a day off, throw an extra day of into the mix, and I was lost. Not that lost though, I went fishing. That is the new fix to boredom fish. However the only thing that I seem to catch is Pike, and I hate them. They have razor sharp teeth, so you have to use a glove to hold the fish, and with the other hand with a glove on, use the pliers to get the hook out. Seriously why do they have to be a pain in the ass like this. I really want to catch a Koni. We bbq one the other night for dinner, just on on open fire. So good! So this is how I caught two fish at once. Te little one is about 14" long just a baby, but just as I was about to pull it out the big one came along and hit it hard I thought my rod was going to snap. But after a half hour of fight with it, I finally got it out of the water. Thank god it fell off, and I didn't have to do anything with it.<br />

It went further up the river, dropped off four of them. Then came back to load the remaining ones here. It was really something to be seen. After they were done loading, they went back and hooked up to the other barges and continued up the river. The sea cans are so large that when the drivers pick them up, they have to drive in reverse all the way back to the barge. Plus the cans are so wide that everyone has to move right off the road. Just to put things in perspective the cans are about 8 ft tall, that is one big fork lift.<br />
