Where we'll be spending Christmas. Anyone have a letter for Santa?

[Dave M]

Baker Lake, Nunavut Territory. Sister and her husband have been working there for 7 years, so time for a christmas visit. Apparently a few herd of Caribou are hangin nearby and we'll be spending some time hunting on 'the land' with local inuit. 7.5 hours of flying and $1500 a head to get there, and if you can find an orange, it will cost you $5. Don't drop it outside as it will shatter :D. Oh, and 3 hours of dusky daylight / day. Ouch, but you only live once.

Very nice, er, cold :) (edit: Wow, that is far north!! I didn't know that was still Canada at the bottom of the map :p )Have a great trip! I will be on the equator... backpacking in Ecuador and Peru, start of the rainy season, so hope it's not too wet there. Looking forward to seeing Machu Pichu

LOL I hate to break it to you.... pack swim trunks... for hiking in, not swimming. Also, don't drink the water lol.

see, defeatist lib-rull thinking.

i've driven in saskatchewan before....if i pack the trunk of my e34 up with oranges and drive it up there....i'll be independently wealthy!

j/k

are you going to stay in an eskimo when you go up there? (somebody asked me that in the 8th grade down here). that geriatric pedophile still owes me an official red ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and 'this thing', which tells time. tell him to be expedient about it, or i'm gonna have to come up there and start molestin' elves...
