Out for a few hours

[bb07]

My poor dog has been cooped up for awhile now so we went out for a few hours to the bush.
It's about a 15 minute drive from here to get to where the Crown Land begins.From here north all the way to the Northwest Territories is bush,lakes,rivers and muskeg.
The truck thermometer shows a cool -25C on the way

On our way

Lots of deer sign

Crossing the river

Somethings' been busy,but I'm not sure what

We don't have much snow yet,should be more

Doesn't this make you want to fix it up & move in?It's natural,not something someone did

Nice dry wood

I see I didn't even get any pics of the dog.Not too surprising as she was running continuously.I'd catch the odd glimpse of her as a flash of white through the trees.A fun day for us both.

You Canadians are lucky, all that space and wilderness.

Nice pics my friend...little bit colder up there than it is down here in God's country; we had plus 8 C today! Looks like a great (big) area to explore...
We have a similar situation here on a smaller scale; surrounded by crown land...you can walk out our door and head east for miles and miles
...just beaver ponds and canadian shield. Lots of moose up your way no doubt...how about the whitetail population...good deer hunting? We have
seen a small decline in the population since a hellish winter 2 years ago...the wolves fattened up mind you.

Canada always looks great!

But I always hope, that I won't see that temperature around this winter!

Hey silentpaddler.The deer hunting here is excellent.There's no shortage of them.In fact I hate driving after dark as it's dangerous.There's always someone hitting one it seems.I really like it when heading farther north,for driving,as about two hours north of here is the end of whitetail country.Time to relax.

Beorn,I suppose that -25c is cold for your area,but here it's not too bad.We'll see colder than -40 before the winter is over,it's normal.
Our record low here in Saskatchewan is -56.7C Now THAT is something I can do without!

The place looks great but -25ºC?? The maximum temperature that I saw in my zone today was 14ºC and the south guys in my country easily got 18ºC. Here where I live (center of Portugal at less than 200 meters of elevation) in the middle of the winter does not get lower then -7ºC (only if the world is going to end) so, dunno if I could actually live there.

Oh yes,I certainly must have a hat, a fur hat at that,as I have a lot less hair than the aye-aye that Geoff Dann posted on my snake thread.

Actually,it's not cold at all as long as you're properly dressed.And it's quite easy to make the mistake of overdressing,which can cause sweating-not good.Walking keeps me quite warm,so naturally how I dress varies considerably depending on the type of activity I'm engaged in.

Lucky you to have all that space, not like the isle of man, completely tamed.
