Saturday, play day.

And exploration day.  Movie day, pizza day.  Museum day too.

Whole lotta, whole lotta going on in NWT’s capital city.

Woke to sunshine.  5-mile run on McMahon Frame Trail.  Quick shower.  2-mile trek to Old Town.  Watched sea planes take off/land on Great Slave Lake after securing my first territorial meal.

Short summer season ‘north of 60’, no arguments here – digged Yellowknife’s cool August temps.  Marathon bib pick-up at Overlander Sports – all to dos, ta done – finally, MUSEUM day.

History of the land, its native peoples & NWT’s Arctic mammals – musk ox, moose & polar bear!

Easy place to get lost 2-3 hours.  Taiga vs tundra.  Tree-line a factor of North Pole wind vs our high peak elevation in Colorado.  Walked the row of township flags.  Greek pizza & a late movie finish.

Yellowknife.  Hip little town, lots to see & do.

Sunday forecast: 42 kilometers & RAIN.  It’s only water, eh? 🇨🇦
