Yep brings back memories of driving truck up the Moose River and crossing between Moosonee and Moose Factory in northern Ontario. Be careful driving there Wild.
Drive safe everyone. :) |

Based out of Edmonton colt. Those are on the Mackenzie crossing at Fort Provedence, NWT Am doin just fine, been busy as ..... well EXTREMELY busy... :lol: :lol: :shock:
The ferry there is itty bitty...2 trucks, 2 cars & it's full.
Ice was melting on Great Slave too quick :roll: And because the crossing is very close to the mouth of the lake, sometimes it literally chokes the river. Here is a link to the video I took, be sure to turn the volume up...the sound is incredible!

Its because of the extra code on the end of it that doesn't belong there, this will work.

I really enjoy it maple, there's nothing like watching the sunrise now, there's only about 1 hour of somewhat dark now, twighlight really, the sun is up at 2 am, it makes for good truckin :D
Going to be going like a mad fool till break up next April now, we NEVER seem to get slow, except in the time the ice road goes & the ferry returns, but even then we seem to be busy. No rest for the wicked I'm told! :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Me neither Roses, it was I sight I always managed to miss until this year. It just happened that it warmed up very quickly in the space of 2 days... +25C by 10 am. It caused the ice to break up on Great Slave Lake too fast...the lake is usually not ice free until mid-June I think, & it usually melts very slowly & moved upstream (the rivers flow north to the Arctic Ocean), but that particular day with 2 days of very warm weather(for up there) it became wter logged & broke apart very fast. The noise was incredible, something to behold...the wonders of nature! 8) 8) |
