I drive a comfortable vehicle that’s well equipped and built for difficult conditions. I have relied on it in all kinds of weather, but it’s especially great fun when the weather is good.
We have had a nice run of very bright, sunny days, and driving has been fabulous.
Happy Monday. 🙂
… with the sunrise in the distance.
Happy Saturday. 🙂
Alexandra Falls Trail, just outside of Hay River, Northwest Territories is a nice spot to take a break and stretch your legs.
We completed our drive north in two days – glad to be finished!
Well, it’s a frozen water sign. Aquarius the water-carrier, to be exact, which is kind of perfect, because this frozen water is carrying cars and trucks.
I know that I’m really stretching this symbol, but I like the idea of the Aquarian water-carrier carrying ice for a safe crossing on an ice road.
This ice road crosses Great Slave Lake between Yellowknife and Dettah. In the summer, you have to go around, and that takes about 20 minutes more.
I hope we all soon experience some sunny and safe shortcuts. After all, most of us have had to do the long way around for the better part of a year.
Happy mid-week. 🙂
Under sunny skies on the weekend, M and I went to Prosperous Lake Park just outside of Yellowknife.
We crossed the lake itself via a very busy ice road, a total of 14 km.
There was an ice fishing derby going on, which is why it was so busy. People were fishing, yes, but there were lots of snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers. Dogs and kids were running around and chasing each other, very much enjoying the bright sun and warmer temperatures.
Here’s a short clip of our trip across the lake.
It was a great day; sunny, warmer, windless. We returned home very happy after all the fresh air and bright light.
Happy mid-week. 🙂
Happy Friday, happy weekend. 🙂
