We're Off!

This is the last post before we leave. We are flying out of Yellowknife at 8am tomorrow morning. After that you should, hopefully, see a SPOT message from us posted here most days. We may also occasionally send a message using the inReach device, which will appear on the location map in the right hand column of the blog (you'll have to click on the map and then click on the arrow representing the message).

We had a lovely day today with Chuck and Muriel. We went to the Yellowknife air show this morning, then had a nice guided tour around Yellowknife, a lovely dinner, and an evening viewing some pictures of Baker Lake and the Inuit Chuck and Muriel knew there from their years of living and teaching there in the 1960s and 1970s. They have some fascinating pictures that give a very intimate insight into the history of the place and its people.
