Re: Greatings from the great north country.

So we are back for a "few weeks", till the paper work catches up with the project.
The first week was some wet and miserable, but was nice and warm and sunny the second week.
Here are a couple of shots of FT ST James/Stuart lake.
( I definetly needed a panoramic camera for the lake pics as it is BIG! )

This next shot is the bay were there was an old sea plane base in the 1930's
as well as a pic of an old marion (SP) steam powered shovel recovered from an old placer gold mine site.

And one of the old Hudson bay company fort
(could'nt get in closed for the year)
