I’m pretty sure it’s a sharp-tailed grouse, one of several species of birds referred to locally as “chicken”

Apparently to clean it, you just step on the wings and pull on the legs

Fishing Derby

Written by:

Spring Carnival week just finished and I couldn’t be more relieved. Here are some pictures from the Fishing Derby at Trout Lake.

I caught a trout! It was not only my first time ice fishing, but my first time ever fishing. It only took 4 hours of standing in the cold to earn it. Good times.

Google Street View

Written by:

Back when I first moved to Tulita, Parks Canada was getting Google Trekker imagery for national parks all over the country, including Nááts’ihch’oh. On my very first trip into the park, the Trekker came along and got hiked around a few locations in the park.

That imagery has been processed, and is now live on Google Maps!

Drag and drop the little yellow man in one of these areas

While the team was in Tulita, they also drove the Trekker around town, so Tulita is now on Google Street View!

You can “drive” anywhere highlighted in blue

Here’s your Tulita “Where’s Waldo?” checklist:

  • Two separate occurrences of Faye & Laani in Parks uniform in different parts of town
  • Faye doing a silly walk in each of these occurrences
  • Maciek
  • A wolf
  • A fox
