A couple of years ago, Kansas Krippler and I decided we would like to go bear hunting in Canada.
Here we are getting ready to leave-
Part of our gear-
We then drove the 489 miles to the SD/ND border ...well, it was a boring drive. I think this picture was taken in North Dakota
We did manage to see a bunch of waterfowl, nesting and other wise. We talked about ducks and habitat and the prairie pot hole region west of us that many ducks use to nest in. This picture is typical of what we saw for miles and miles-
Day 2, we drove to the border and jumped through the legal hoops to import our guns into Canada. All and all, it wasn't to bad.
We drove north through Winnipeg and stopped for fuel in Gimli, Manitoba. Gimli is home to the largest population of Icelandic people out side of Iceland. Here is a picture of a building there-
Gimli is also on the shore of Lake Winnipeg. Lake Winnipeg is a huge lake, about 300 miles long. We were headed to a place near Pine Dock, Manitoba. From Pine Dock we would board a float plane, cross Lake Winnipeg, and go another 50 miles into unsettled wilderness to hunt and fish.

On the road to Pine Dock. It was like this for 75 miles-
