Oh Caribou where are you?
There were talks a couple days ago of us going out on the land during the weekend. Last night there was a blizzard watch for our area so we figured it probably wasn’t going to happen.
Well, by this morning, the watch was gone and the weather was really nice. Finally by about 11 we all decided to go out. Since we started talking about going out we’ve been saying that we should charge our camera battery so we don’t have a repeat of last time! Well, do you think we actually charged it? No…I’m thankful that we were able to get a few pictures in before the battery completely died.
It was actually a fairly nice day out. -21ºc with very little wind. We went out about 10km’s out of town and stopped for a hot drink before heading back. It’s a good thing we got back when we did. The bad weather was following us back to town.
We were really hoping to be able to catch sight of a few caribou. There have been a few spotted and hunted right where we went out today, so we were hopeful. The closest we came to seeing them was their fresh tracks and poo. Oh well, hopefully one day we’ll see one.

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

That’s a great photo. Maybe you should consider buying a spare camera battery. We have two and that helps a lot.
