October 17, 2017 - Churchill Dog Sledding and the flight home


This morning we stopped at a sled dog place where we had hot chocolate and a talk about the dogs.

Then we got to take a ride, but not on a sled, not enough snow.  Instead the vehicle had wheels and very nice seats.

We also stopped at the Itsanitaq Museum, a museum of First Nations artifacts and information.  And sales shop.

We also saw the body of wrecked plane that was covered with graffiti.

Then it was time to fly out…Churchill to Winnipeg and then on home.  We all agreed that it was a great trip and that Natural Habitat ran a great operation.
