Olga Lovick (she/her)Ice scapes on my commute. Should have taken the skates rather than the bike. #winterbiking #biking #yxe #saskatchewanriver
fionag11The beginning of the #saskatchewanriver from the meltpool below the #saskatchewanGlacier, from Parker Ridge #rockymountains #alberta
After frostnipping my face yesterday on my commute, I needed a reminder of why I bike. #bike2work #yxe #SaskatchewanRiver
The bike wouldn't start this morning so I had to walk. The wind on the bridge was brutal, as you can see by the ice patterns it made on the river. (Wind was blowing upriver: from the right) #SaskatchewanRiver #yxe

"From Cedar Lake to this place [Cumberland House] the country is low, full of small lakes and arms of the main river, and during the spring floods must be, from its trifling elevation, entirely or in great measure inundated. The driest and most elevated portions of those low grounds are covered with willows and the most parts with reeds, long grass and rushes. One or two high points in the river are covered by pines.... #MBHistory #SaskatchewanRiver #Books

"Fine weather. Pulled through the remainder of Cedar Lake, and breakfasted at the other end of Cross Lake. In the forenoon 3 boats were broken in the Red Stone Rapid #SaskatchewanRiver , and as a good deal of time was lost in repairing them, we only got as far as the head of the Grand Rapids, where we encamped. Rained very hard in course of the day.
"12th. Rained all morning and could not start until after breakfast... #HistoricJourney #Voyaging #History
