Airplane Adventure #2

Today I was all planned with my bag of goodies, snacks, camera, warm clothes to take an adventure with pilots Steve and Brian to Sachs. This time to Sachs Harbour, we would be taking a crew up to do some work, then take them back again. Therefore would have time to check out the town for about 4hrs, hence why I packed snacks. Got to the airport, had lunch, and waited. Got the news no flight to Sachs.. but instead we are going to Paulatuk. "Are you in?" Steve asked, "YES" i replied.

330pm off the ground into air via the classy red, white and black twin otter plane. ETA... 4:50. One hour and 20 minutes flying and no houses, no people, no nothing but cool crisp snow covering the unexplored land of the NWT. Watching out the window, you can see meandering river ways, small lakes, large lakes and hill sides. I personally think it is quite neat to think that all that is down there is animals. All that wide open space interests me. And still no polar bear to be seen.I think i was singing the Dixie Chicks song.. Wide open spaces the whole way!!

Then we came into Paulatuk. Paulatuk is on the ocean, only about 300 people or less there. Yeah small place. Thanks to the wind pattern changing, we got to fly over the whole town and circle around. I was happy.



The town maybe has ?? 50 houses or so.. Way the middle of no where.. hard to believe you have to fly in and fly out all the time.!!

Laura in Paulatuk...the airport.. cannot get lost here!

See I'm not short in this plane.. I am tall!!!

And that is my trip to Paulatuk..
