It's a groovy way to go

Last week, Mrs. Angus and I visited the shores of Hudson Bay in Manitoba to try and see polar bears. We were successful (click on pic to see a larger image)!



We also saw several arctic foxes



We stayed in a strange hostel on wheels called the Tundra Buggy Lodge right out on the edge of the bay!



We were there for three days and saw between 12 and 30 bears per day!





We also spent a bit of time in the town of Churchill and in Winnepeg. My impression of Manitoba is that it is caught in a time warp. It's still 1977 there. Three or four locals actually said "right on!" to me without any trace of irony.

A journey to the past

My favorite things Canadian are arctic foxes, Neil Young, polar bears, Daniel Negraneau, and sled dogs! Here is a shot of a very cosmopolitan sled dog we met outside of Churchill last week:
