Christmas in Tulita
Written by: Faye
We spent Christmas in Tulita this year, for the first time since moving here (2016 was spent en-route back from Australia and 2017 was spent in Ottawa). My mom came up to visit, so we did Tulita-style family Christmas.
Driving the Ice Roads
Written by: Faye
We borrowed a truck and drove to Norman Wells for the day along the newly opened ice roads. We didn’t stay very long in the Wells (just long enough to go to the museum and get groceries and some wine), in order to maximize the amount of time spent driving during the short window of daylight. The ice roads are in good shape in the sense that they aren’t rutted out yet, but they are very slippery – any slight touch of the brakes sets the truck off fishtailing. It was a good opportunity to enjoy the lovely winter scenery, and we saw three wolves on the way back that came right up to the truck.
