welll i made it, im out north. Wow what a trip, this place is aamazing.
so on april 17th i flew from moncton to montreal to vancouver stayed overnight went to 1984 inc main office from 9 -12 for orientation, then flew to calgary to yellow knife. Stayed at the super 8 , had to be up for 5 30 to be picked up by 6:30 by the charter. to tell you the truth i was super nervous so only slept about an hour. the charter group picked us up and drove us to the airport. there they checked over our bags as no booze or drugs alllowed in camps. there was alot of drillers flying with me and a another 1984 baker. most of them were mid twenties, alot were hung over. we got on small plane there was 14 of us, plus there was a cargo hold for the groceries we flew north east for about two hours, outside of the windwo all was white, just planes and lakes of snow. seemed very lonely land but very beutiful. we landed in gooselake, or i should say on the lake. escorted to the kitchen, where we were giving orientation and safety of the camp , which bunk we are in etc. there is aprox 100 people working here and there are 6 of us plus some inuit helpers that feed them. there is two tv rooms one smoking one not, a sauna, a fitness room, washrooms. toilets are kinda cool, its the bag system, yes the toilet s lined with a big bag inside, the burn all waste here. the food is good ole grub with no exspence wasted, these people eat good and alot. i sleep with 3 others in a wooden cabin. and its quite warm.
the land around the camp is pretty flat so you can see for far alaround but all there is to see is snow. very bright snow. evrybody is very friendly here. so far i like it and i will post more soon, and more in depth. until then bye from out north.
