Monday, July 14, 2008 - Day 4

Today was an awesome day even if we didn't do any riding. We got up around 7:30 am and Naomi made us omelets (which were great). Then we jumped in the Yukon and Naomi showed us around Hay River. This is a picture of Great Slave lake.


Then it was back to the house for lunch (lasagna). After lunch we headed to the museum in town. That was fantastic. They provided tea and we could touch and feel almost anything we wanted, including all the old books and journals.


I really enjoyed the old maps of the north. I can't even imagine pioneering areas like that.

After the museum we got a quick tour of the new youth church being built and then it was off to the waterfalls. The waterfalls were breath taking. There were two of them and we could walk (climb/scale/shimmy) right up to the edge of both of them.

The view that we saw is beyond words. (Waterfalls always do that for me) I will let the pictures speak for themselves.


Even the pictures don't really capture the experience of being there. We stopped to meet friends of Naomi's. They showed us around the bible camp that they were building. That was an interesting project to see.
And that was pretty much our day. We did a little grocery shopping for tomorrow and cam home for dinner. (burgers this time). Now we're all packed and ready for tomorrow. It's off to Yellowknife for another adventure.
