MADISON, WI -- As promised, here are some more pictures. These are from my late-July trip to Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada. The lake trout was the biggest I caught at a nice 22-pounds, making it the heaviest fish I have ever brought in the boat. The midnight sun was actually at 1AM, a phenomenon that is made all the more impossible to believe given that we are now less than two weeks from the darkest day of the year (December 21)... the beauty in these pictures is currently one of the most inhospitable places on earth. Finally, there is a picture of a moose that I shot from the boat one afternoon.
Travel updates: none, except that it is becoming more likely that I will indeed be making that trip in March to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We secured a grant that is cutting the trip price by $200, and it looks like I'll have miles to pay for the otherwise very-expensive flight. The overall trip will still be expensive but by fundraising I hope to cover it. Last spring I went on an alternate break to Nicaragua, which I was able to offset by fundraising, and that trip was more expensive than the post-grant, post-miles cost of Brazil.
Will keep you posted! Next flight: December 23!
