We just came back from snowshoeing in Wildcat Hill Provincial Park, and guess what we saw? A moose! We all tried to stay as still and as quiet as possible so that we wouldn't scare him. It was hard . imean, how many of you can stay perfectly srill in -50 C? The skies are always clear, and the snow stays for a long time. Once the snow is gone though, it can get up to 45 C in the summer. There is also a lot of sun. We're kind of near the Arctic circle, us being at 52 51'N by 102 23'W. The population of the town is 1646, and the population density is 95/km . Our ecozone is the Boreal Plains, and the clostest national park is Prince Albert National Park.
There aren't many remarkable landmarks around here, but the villagers speak highly of thier Ruby Lake and Prcupine Hill. The industries include agriculture, small shops, and logging(Weyerhaeuser). There is plenty to do while we visit. Snowmobiling,visiting the Al Mazur Memorial Heritage, or the John Deere collection, or the Museum,looking at town murals, go to the Hudson Bay Regional Park, go fishing, or hunting, or camping, or snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. Also, tours going to Churchill, Manitoba depart from here.
Tomorrow, the mountains beckon
