The preferred term in Canada is "First Nations" ... Which does not include Metis or Innuit. I once worked as an Adult Basic Education consultant on the Muskowekwan (Saulteaux) Reserve in Sakatchewan. The present Chief, Reg Bellerose, is a good buddy of mine. Reserves are great places to get cheap fags and gasoline ... and Cuban cigars at $5.00 a pop. My favorite: Romeo y Julietas.

Washing the Cat.

Just a quick thank you to those sane enough to brighten our days with their little snippets of real life.

First time over the border to Holland this year, Almelo was to be our destination of choice.

The "Koornmarkt" - A couple of the Church spires from the many around the Town x2 - Looking up the "Grootestraat" & a misplaced municipality? - I kid you not, a converted "Nick" is now a posh Hotel.

Today in Pictures, today its cold, snowing, hail stoning, and a bit of sunshine in the mix, so where do we go today.....high up a hill around Musbury Heights.

1. That's the destination on the right.
2. Looking back at Calf Hey Reservoir.
3. The Sherpas have gone on ahead to strike camp at the peak.
4. The remains of an old weavers cottage, empty since the reservoir was built.
5. Life on the edge can be a trial.
6. Almost at the peak, and stone walls are in abundance as it was quarried just yards away.
7. Here we are, at the business end of the industry that once rules this region.
8. Not sure why they built these walls rather than just remove the ground to level the site.
9. After traversing the top of Musbury Heights we descended back down to reservoir.
10. Ravaged by the festive seasons weather the baubles look rather sad.

and with that it was time to return to the car, now that is another story, with snow still on the ground and an uphill slope, the front wheel drive proved to be a slip sliding experience. We had visions of having to rub two boy scouts together to create a spark to light a fire to put up the bat signal. We eventually managed to get out by reversing up the slope slowly, something to bear in mind next time

There was a covering of snow although Grane Road had been salted, we parked on the car park adjacent to calf hey reservoir, its on the right just past the clough head car park. Its normaly a pay station car park but the machine has been "bagged" since christmas. No salt had been put down on this narrow road and everyone was skidding on the way out, apart from those smug looking people with 4 wheeled drive cars.
