Faye and Maciek's Adventures in the frosty Canadian North
Speaking of clubs, I’ve been running an Inuvik chapter of the Hash House Harriers (the international “drinking club with a running problem“) for the past year and a half. We run approximately monthly during the not-completely-freezing-cold months, and have developed a small but dedicated following of hashers. We’re probably the most northerly kennel in the world.
The town had a “Community Registration Night”, so of course I had several tables there. Here’s the local news article about it.
I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from the blog recently, due to being busy and/or away. Relaxing covid restrictions permitted us to socialize more freely and to leave the territory for the first time in a year and a half, so we’ve been taking full advantage. I’ll try to catch you up on the past summer…
In June, Sam and I got out hiking in the Richardsons again. Similar to last year, the lack of trails made for some difficult terrain, a long day of hiking, but an ever-beautiful landscape.
Early July involved numerous social events, including a beer mile, some kayaking, Faye’s (very brief and temporary) return to refereeing pro wrestling, and an epic going away party for Jarred.
Later in July, I met up with friends from near and far in the Yukon and did some lovely hiking (and a bit of flightseeing) in Kluane National Park and the surrounding area.
After visiting friends and family in southern Canada, Maciek and I road-tripped our way back through the Yukon in late August, just in time to catch the beautiful fall colours.
In early September, I finally got out on Inuvik’s golf course for the first time, and kayaked to the pingos up near Tuktoyaktuk.
