the road to Mount Pelly


So yesterday I walked out to Mount Pelly. About 15kms I think, took me a bit under three hours. It turned out to be a perfect day, about 10 degrees with a light wind at my back to keep away the bugs, I needed a hat but didn't get too warm walking. The whole area is full of muskox, a couple of detours were necessary to avoid them. I've never seen them charge people but I've heard they do. One of the muskox detours was a bit muddy, the deep sticky mud that the tundra is so good at. When I got out to the cabin, I made coffee and sat in the porch for a while listening to the wind.

This picture is about three quarters of the way out. But the road is all like that.
