THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
From Lac Ile-a-la-Crosse, Governor George Simpson of the HBC makes his way north to the Clearwater River, on his way to Athabasca Lake. This is the route that will lead many HBC men north to the shores of the Arctic Sea, although this is not where the governor is headed in 1828. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Athabasca https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-nine/

Is there anyone else on here who lives in the town of #Athabasca ?

Half a moon cycle ago when the #snow was fresh, the full moon over my backyard. The trails are made by deer as much as by me. #athabasca
