My Week In Pictures!
Another week has come and gone, and UKN and I "flogged the bush" all week. Flew canoers, hauled lumber, got a quick float repair, flew more canoers, flew low, etc., etc.! This is how it was, in random and unchronological order!
Arrive at Silver Falls and be "drydocked" for a float repair.
A CanCar "Tree Farmer" skidder, the perfect machine for pulling large aircraft from the water.
Send Remy into the float to find the leak.
"Found the leak"!
After a couple of hours, the boys put her back in the water, after replacing some rivets and resealing the float, and I was northbound!
Lumber-hauling was on the "agenda" this week.
Load some canoer's packs, ............
.......then load the canoers, 6 young Americans going on a month-long canoe excursion. Wow! The dental industry in the U.S. is very "robust" judging by the "gleam" from these 6 "10,000 watt, million dollar smiles". Outstanding.
Tie on "another" canoe..............
.........and another...........
Ready!
Drop canoers at Artery Lake, on the Bloodvein River.........
Disprove the "skeptics" that state trees can't grow from "solid rock". Canadian "Shield Country", fantastic geography! Sparkling waters, loaded with fish!
At the end of every day, fly low back to Base over "Unforgiving Lake Winnipeg", sometimes seeing UKN's "shadow". Notice the "turbidity" of Lake Winnipeg water at this time of year. A "Great Inland Sea"!
Hey! Calder's Dock! Just about home! Looking forward to another evening of "whisky and stories" with "the boys"! How was your week? Till next time,.........."Adios"!
