They're Back!

Did I call that?  All of the same kids are pounding on the door again.  The worst part of it is, I kinda heard through the grapevine, that since there was a funeral yesterday, and the fact that nobody was supposed to be going out on Sunday, there is a chance that there might be trick-or-treaters again tomorrow!  I suppose that there's an opportunity that I might see the same kids three nights in a row.
With yesterday's trip being in the opposite direction of our usual quest for open ocean, I managed to get this shot from a greater distance.  It's kinda hard to tell, but beyond the hills, about 3/4 of the way up, the straight line in the background is actually the ocean.  While Rory spends most of our trips on the lookout for signs of wildlife, we haven't seen any yet.  Maybe it's the time of year, but there doesn't seem to be nearly the amount of animals here, like there was in Repulse Bay.  There is lots of hunting going on, but obviously we're either not going far enough, or not in the right direction.  The locals do seem to think that we're a little bit nuts for not taking a riffle with us on our journeys.  We do see lots of caribou antlers, and hundreds of rodents, along with the fact that I've already been given gifts of geese, caribou, and arctic char, so obviously the place is teeming with life.  We just haven't happened to stumble across any yet.
Here's to a night free from trick-or-treaters.  Keep your fingers crossed...

Stay tuned.
