I live in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada and my family runs a float plane service, outposts and a lodge. This is more than a business; it is a life style. Every year, every season, every day brings something new. I try to blog about life our way.

Monday night Curling in Red Lake
Curling has a long history in the north. The smallest of towns always built a curling rink often with voluteers doing the work. The ice was natural with crazy variation, the weather sometimes very cold, sometimes too warm but always the rink was a place to gather. Now the rink is air conditioned. The sport originated in Scotland but today, Canada boasts the best curlers. World champions are required to belong to a local rink and win all the way up to the top.
The Strategy, Very Complicated
The Shot
I'll be blogging about the Ladies Bonspiel in a couple weeks.
Do you guys curl year round? or is there a "season"? I will be up in July to do some fishing at lake Rhueame, I can't wait. Great pictures, send us some of that snow!!

No we only curl in the winter time; good sport for me as my summers are busy.
