Faye and Maciek's Adventures in the frosty Canadian North
Our Walk to Tuk t-shirts arrived in the mail this week. This year’s colour is navy.
Also, it turns out that I won the team captain draw prize this year (out of 310 teams), so they’re sending me an iPad! All of my cat… er, moose herding has finally paid off.
… In an old bus/van clunker with 7 other people. It was hot, it was fast, and it was bumpy! We got air on the steep dives, after quick climbs along the winter road’s aggressive terrain. We looped and drifted, jerked and flopped, bounced and glided for 2 hours. Making it to the Wells in record time, I threw open the door and gulped fresh, cold air as my stomach tried to decide which way was up. Palms sweaty, legs numb, and neck kinked, it’s really too bad the road’s only open for another month.
We just wrapped up this year’s Walk to Tuk event. The Meandering Moose had a good showing this year, making it all the way to Tuk and then all the way back to Fort Providence again. Here’s the “route”:
Last year we made it back to Whatì, which is kind of impressive given how low our chances were of ending our “walk” in an actual town.
I bravely captained the team again this year, even though I was away in warmer climates for most of the event. Here are some nice progress graphs to make up for that:
