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.

When our son, Arthur started work as a heavy duty mechanic underground at the Gold Corp Mine here in Red Lake, Hugh was full of advice and stories of the years that he mined. Arthur asked Dick Toffanello to show Hugh around and show him the big changes downunder. Gwyneth and I got to go along. At one point, we are 1 mile under ground and Dick asks us to turn out our lamps! I have great respect for the men up here that work so hard down deep... they are proud of what they do and deserve the wages they get.
Music is by Stomping Tom Connors, our  iconic Canadian singer who "has been everywhere, man" at least in Canada.
