Caribou

The woodland caribou is a majestic animal whose southern most range includes Seseganaga Lake. Many of our guests enjoy seeing these rare animals. Sometimes they will stick around for a photo op.

My dad took this picture of a young bull caribou in the yard of our Seseganaga West Bay cabin last week.

Oh the joys!

October brings some of the worst flying weather in our area.

It is also in October that we have moose hunters out and are in the last stages of our season. It happens often in October that as weather patterns change, we encounter flight delays. On Sunday, Randy and I went to our Seseganaga camp to pick up our successful moose hunting party.

We had no problem getting to Seseganaga but had a small delay getting home. Hurry up and wait becomes a fall motto.

I waited on a small lake for a few hours and Randy in his wisdom waited at the Seseganaga camp with a nice cabin and warm fire. When the frontal system passed we were safely on our way.










As I've said many times, "It is always better to be down here wishing I was up there than up there wishing I was down here. "

At least it wasn't snow. The snow delay came on Monday. And Tuesday brought a dense morning fog and heavy frost to delay us again.

Seseganaga Joe

Today Joe replaced Seseganaga John as our camp attendant at Ses. John retired last fall after 14 years on the lake. Many will miss his smiling face but none more than us. John agreed to fly in to Ses today with Joe to show him the ropes. Joe put some time in at our Metionga Camp last year so the the transition to Ses will be easy. Joe is a trapper, fisher, aircraft Maintenance engineer and all round outdoors type of guy. He actually helped build some of the original cabins on Seseganaga back in the 70's. So, when you step off the plane at Seseganaga Lake you'll be greeted by a different smiling face. Seseganaga Joe is on the job.
