Adventures
Over breakfast we discussed what we would do today. Alex said to leave our tents up to see if the sun would come out... We did some rainy birding...
We returned to a warm campfire - inspired by Jim... Our damp group gathered around a campfire Jim started, with help from Alex sawing dead branches and from Karen gathering firewood.
Bill decided to take a few casts from a nearby rocky point... his favourite red and white Williams Wabler lure got caught on bottom but was rescued with help from Dave. No fish...
By lunch time, Alex decided we would stay in camp for the day but have a "long hike" in the afternoon. We explored the hills and tundra for about 3.5 hours (Lucy stayed behind to read her book). Jim followed slowly as he has a huge broken blister on the side of his foot - message from Jim: do not buy new hiking boots just before a trip. We all were on the lookout for muskox - no luck - but, as Karen says, there are always ``beautiful vistas`` to inspire us...Barbara's camera stopped working due to dampness - check out the drops on the photos...
