The diesel and the water system are up and running. We have telephone and internet. The minnow traps are in. The water is up, about 14 inches below the top of the dock so there was no problem getting the floating dock from the river.

Don’t be fooled by the open water in the photo at right. I took an hour of training at Fort Langley Air in British Columbia. It is spring in B.C. with flowers and sunshine. We will be back in Red Lake by April 1 to watch the ice and snow melt.

It is cold but we are still here in Red Lake. Yesterday, Bill talked with Mike Litwin (Petro Can fuel dealer) and he was making a couple of half loads with his fuel truck into Pikangikum. The ice is not yet thick enough for big trucks and full loads. There is a new…
