Good Weather In Site

Well, it has been a long and cold winter. Today is the first day since, hell I can't remember, when the temperature has gone above zero (Celsius). We hit -58C months ago and as the equinox has past, we are on the road to long days of daylight. After the Summer Solstice (June 21st), we will have 20 hours of daylight. I can't wait for summer to fish every day (hoping for the 40+ lb Laker), sit on the deck on the weekend, and forget what time it is because of the daylight. With 50 approaching, this is just what I need. Hope you all have a great spring.

After living in a city of millions, 7 lanes of traffic, 3 hours travel to work back and forth, 12 to 16 hour days, stress off the scale

and now

12 lakes all within a 20 minute drive with trophy size fish
5 minute walk to work
20,000 people in all
Water you can hand drink from the lake
Great school system for the young one
Great Northern tax advantages
Slow pace of life
Good paying job
Excellent friends & colleagues

The list goes on and on. I turn 50 this year and I can't think of a better place to finish it all off. Ya, I'm a lucky guy!

And out of those 520,850 square miles of beautiul land, those 20k people make up for most of the population for the entire area.

Where did you reside before Yellowknife ?

Any pics of the area? I have always wanted to visit the great north...!! Was born in Eugene, Oregon. Not quite the North Western Territories, but it is in my blood to enjoy green pines, snow capped mountains, lakes, and that chilly, yet clean air.

Ain't that the truth. You are welcome at my place anytime for some good NW beer.

Jan Michael Gambill,

The extreme cold aside, my future residence will be in a town not too different than what you described. I hope I will look on it as well as you do.

I hope to live long enough to enjoy that world myself...

retirement is a loooong way off...if ever..


one can always dream though...








and this one does..!!

I grew up in the Toronto, Ontario area.

Here are a few pics of Yellowknife.

Shiz,

May give you a ring during the fall this year - will be heading off to Portland for a week or so.

Janmike,

Thanks for sharing the photos. Writting down yet another place I'd like to visit!

Personally...

It looks cold...

The chances of me even spending a weekend there are slim, I couldnt even stand NYC -

But, it is indeed a beautiful area, and I am sure it is warm this time of year! Glad to see some people can enjoy life! hehe
