McCartney:

Very nice set of pics and congratulations on all your finds.
I have been in that region of Canada in the middle of winter (~40 C)... brrrr. It is a very harsh environment. I would take the desert any day too.

Thanks for sharing.

Greg S.

> This is the first trip taken to Canada after the fall. Once there, we only had 2.25 days to hunt before shutdown snowfall occurred. It was -25 Celcius and the airline lost my luggage, so I'm wearing socks over my hands in some photos. I think I had thin gloves under the socks. At some point, I couldn't photo anymore as the batteries died of cold and our fingers hurt from exposure. Give me desert any day of the week. Most of the photos are in situ. No action, car chases, or things blowing up. Sorry.

> I think we found 6 kg in two days. They stuck out nice in the white thin snow. Then we gave 1/2 to the landowner, and we sold off our half. I kept 100g of small stones for my own collection, awaiting export permit.

> I'll upload my Spring trip photos soon. I have many kilos coming to me when the permits clear, also.
