I love that your story of the north begins in the same Innuit town that I was in in 1976, at the end our our canoe trip from Shefferville. The name has changed, but the place may not have changed that much, and the terrain hardly at all. I recall our final day on the river, looking across that WIDE Koksoak, coming on caribou trails, lighting a fire at lunch because we were so cold, and moving our canoes up because the tide was coming in. And arriving back in civilization, six women and three canoes, and being welcomed most of all by some of the people who worked at the airport. They said, you don’t seem typical of what we think of as Americans….
I trust you will enjoy your birthday somewhere along the shores of Labrador! Happy Birthday in the Arctic!
We are off to dance, sing, and play music, babysit (in French), eat well, and generally enjoy ourselves at Pine Woods for a week. There is a piano workshop among the offerings, looking forward to that. All is well here. This morning we canned up 7 qt and 7 pts of peaches, and about the same of tomato juice. Tropics!
Anne received her ticket-to-adventure promise last night, and seems pretty happy to have her own adventuring spirit nourished by the family.
love,
Ruth

Your descriptions of happenings (throat singing), passages (McClellan Strait), and geology (sedimentary rock at Akpatok) are fantastic. I’m following along on Google Earth and enjoying your trip immensely.
