"Snapshots" In Time: My Manitoba

We just survived 2 days of severe thunderstorms with no loss of assets, so that was a good thing. Others didn't fare as well. Skyline Maintenance and Avionics lost part of it's roof, Sasaginnigak Lodge had 2 large trees narrowly miss the lodge and land on "hydro" wires, and there was other assorted "mayhem". Anyways, the days before the storms hit are; "Snapshots" In Time: My Manitoba.


A couple of "yawls" used to fish on Lake Winnipeg, tied up on the Icelandic River. Posted by Picasa

On Saturday morning early, I went to pick up Jason Lambley from 'Lambley's Hunts From The Heart', who had 3 bear hunters at Northway's outpost camp at Kesch Lake. Let's see how they made out.
