YES WE ARE!

Can you believe that only 83 days ago we virtually gathered at Cape Spear, NL to walk to the Pacific coastline. With no idea of the necessary time and energy - we set out. In the first week we walked 946.3 KM and found ourselves on a ferry to NS , surrounded by icebergs!

Every week we were invited to ponder a word - Justice, anger, rest, wonder, isolation, beauty, endurance , disappointment, hospitality, ending, and my word was grateful.

Every day, we were grateful for all of you ‘walking together apart’.

The beautiful pictures, the interesting quiz that helped us learn interesting Canadian facts and all the opportunities to join others in worship - it was perfect. We will miss you but now we continue to walk together!

So on behalf of the organizers we thank you for walking with us, for sharing pictures and stories and walking all the way home. Please tell your friends that you walked across Canada and back with a wonderful group of like minded people who walked with respect in creation. It’s good to be home!

This week's journey picks up where we left off at Port Nelson/York Factory at the mouth of the Hudson Bay.  Since there are no roads around we are HIKING as the crow flies from here to Armstrong, On.  This is a total of 775 km, according to this site.  We pass near a number of northern first nations communities such as Shamattawa (population 1019),  Muskrat Dam (population 375) and Pickle Lake, the most northerly community in the province of ON that has year-round access by road (imagine that for a minute).

Now that we are back on the road we can travel in style (after a shower and good nights rest).

From Armstrong we wind around past Windogo Bay and Whitesand Provincial Parks on route 11 (TCH) to arrive at our destination for the week, Moonbeam ON.

This week's journey picks up where we left off outside of Canora, SK.  Backtracking a bit we head NORTH this week up route 9 through the towns of Endeavor, Bertwell, Hudson Bay and Mountain Cabin.    From there we pick up route 289 to The Pas (located at the confluence of the Pasquia River and the Saskatchewan River) and now we are in MANITOBA.

Next is further north to Flin Flon (I always liked that name) on route 10.  Turning around there we follow route 39 to its end where it turns into route 6.  We follow route 6 until it ends in Gillam.  That's literally the end of the road, so we hop on a boat to the coast along the Nelson River where we stop again at Port Nelson at the mouth of HUDSON BAY.

It really amazes me how few ROADS there are in Northern Manitoba.
