Walking the Gros Morne Tablelands 2008,
(2 minutes, an 95 MB Mb QuickTime movie)
....trying to keep up with a beautiful young "Newfoundland Red Mountain Goat". 10 miles; no trails; a 2000 ft. up, then down, not a trail in sight. It's all bouldering. Slip and it's helicopter time. (I haven't been so tired since Parris Island in 1963.) A really good and considerate guide from Gros Morne Adventures, Kathlene is.

Baffin Island 2008
(4 minutes, a 40 MB Mb QuickTime movie)
....from Iqaluit headed west on Baffin Island with Lionel Clark; then back east to Pangnirtung Fjord. Lionel has thousands of bush float/wheel hours; he flew the PBY water-dropping fire-bombers for Canada and
he delivered freight all over the North in DC-3 and DC-4 aircraft, and retired as a Canadien 747 captain in 1992.
What great company; we laughed all the way!
(
What a great room in Pangnirtung, too!
$200/bed with no bath and no room for two men to stand !! )

Polar Bears! Churchill Manitoba 2008
(2 minutes, a 20 MB Mb QuickTime movie)
..near Churchill, on the southwest corner of Hudson's Bay, Canada in early November before the freeze-up. We stayed at the Lazy Bear Lodge, and toured with the Great White Bear Tour company. Super folks... the temperature was a tiny bit chilly....but worth it? Oh Yes! Did the bears eat the tied-up sled dogs in the video? No. I have hunted and shot wild grizzly bear and still don't quite believe my own eyes as I saw a Polar Bear playing with a sled dog and saw a dozen other bears wandering through the sled dog string, utterly indifferent to the dogs (unless the bear felt like playing) ... and these carnivores have not eaten meat since June. Astonishing.
