No riding today as we were rained in. The plan was to head for village of Chisasibi in the Cree Nation along our way to James Bay, but the weather did not cooperate. After all the riding we have done in the last 4 days, no one was up for a rainy and rather windy ride today.
We had dinner at one of the local restaurants, where I had Caribou which was very, very good. We spent quite a long time at a local native craft store, where I purchase an Inukshuk sculpture. We also scheduled a tour of the power plant tomorrow. We did run into some Americans all the way up here. Two hunters from Michigan were headed 300 miles North by helicopter for Caribou hunting.
Parked for the day.
It is unlikely that Radisson will ever see such a combination of good looks, style and sophistication again.
Local road sign. Check out the distance to Washington, 2350 km (1460 miles).
Inukshuk located outside the local Native American craft store.
This display was inside the hydro plant media center. The stuffed wolf in the picture was enormous, easily pushing 200 lbs when he was alive.| Trip Stats | |
