BAYFIELD INLET ICE HIKERS - SEASON 2015

SEASON FINALLE

After spending four nights, but wishing we could have stayed longer, we have to get on, getting on.

My living the pretend life of a trapper will now revert to me living the pretend life of a popular blogger.

With the extreme cold of late we have been keeping a eye out for a window in the weather for a safe trek out.

Today we will see a balmy minus fourteen Celsius.

Out and about these past few days has rekindled my life long ambition and dream of building the world's first glass bottom car.

I laugh at glass bottom boats.

The only thing they are good for is to see all the glass bottom boats that have sank.

After a night that touched minus 30c, we will take our time with breakfast on the stove before we head out for a tour of the neighbourhood.

These past couple of days has me thinking of making a movie.

Thinking of titling it:

"FROZEN"

Hey wait.

Forget what I said.

FORGET!!!!

"FROZEN"

If I see  any movies out there titled.........................................

 Got all excited when we saw temps at 0.

EPISODE THREE
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2015

 Here we will post some random images from our third day. Later we will bundle up and go exploring. The minus 25c has us taking our time. With fire on, the cabin is much to cosy to have us rush off.

 Theres something about the crackle of the fire and the puttering and smell of the coffee pot that takes a lot to beat.

 Coffee, book and bed.

With this COLD snap, in between stokeings of the stove during the night it can dip to single digits temps.

But now it's safe to come out Kate.

 House of Throne

 SHIT. ITS COLD.

 Our ground solar array is providing us with enough juice for our stay.

 Roof array needs a little shovelling which we will leave to Mother Solar.

Trappers breakfast. Ham and biscuits. 

It is not moose. Or is it?

 Here on the map of Bayfield Inlet we show our jumping off point of Thompson Marine.

About eight kilometres of various states of water to Island D40

 Our outer island location offers us four seasons of spectacular vistas. 

Well sheltered channel for passage to and from. 

Miles of sheltered nooks and crannies to the east for exploring.

To the west wild Georgian Bay scenes and scenery off our point for endless viewing. 

Come and see a sunset. You will never forget it. 

 There is somewhere right here our swim dock. Encased till warmer times.

Kate inspects the diving board.

 Our two hundred and fifty square feet of Canadiana.

NEXT - STAYED TUNED FOR SOME QUESTING. THE ICE ROAD TO VICTORY.
