Well, we had quite the eventful afternoon. We just went sledding, on dog sleds.....well, not really sleds pulled by dogs but sleds pulled by snowmobiles. . It took us about fifteen minutes to get to a magical Dene cabin in the forest. Once we were there we had a bbq on an open fire with grilled caribou ribs, steak, hamburgers, hotdogs, salads and hot tea. We also had dried caribou meat cured using a traditional method of salting and dry curing. It is an ancient aboriginal method and it was very good. Everyone in our group enjoyed the fabulous feast that our hosts were so generous to provide.
Once the bbq was over, we had another opportunity to go on the snowmobiles and sleds and ride around the lake. We were driven around on the lake for about an hour or so enjoying the sunshine and beauty of the area.
On our way back to the lodge we saw all kinds of cool things such as rock formations that were in the middle of the frozen lake. The rocks were relatively large and they looked as though they had been formed over a long period of time. The rocks protruded through the ice as if they were deliberately placed on top. Northern Saskatchewan is such a beautiful area!
Finally, this evening we will be participating in karaoke contest and pool tournament at Rollin Stones, a community cafe in Fond du Lac . I am very excited to have more interaction with our twins and the many other people we have been fortunate to have met over the past few days.
Thanks for reading !
