Life on the tundra

---

All is well here in on the fringe of the Arctic.
We have had our first frost of the season (only 4 weeks since the last frost of spring), so fall is on it's way! However we are experiencing an Indian summer as the temps are now on the rise for the next few days. The good weather has caused a flurry of activity in the Tundra Buggy shop. We can finally do some of our work out side!
There are still a lot of bears in the area, in fact there has been sightings of black bears and grizzly bears as well as our iconic polar bears! The tundra colours are in their final few days as the last few flowers struggle to hang on to their little stems, but the berries are just coming out, so i hope to get a nice stash of blueberries in the next week or two? We had a bit of a party on the tundra last week, we invited 50 people from the town to join us for a BBQ. It was a hoot! Good for the PR.

Curious bears
There was no food in the bag and they lost interest after a couple of minutes.

Hiking with mosquitoes
I still got bitten dozens of times!

Holy Bugs Batman!!!!!
Even with our full mosquito jackets and bug spray, we were still being eaten alive! There were literally millions of them!

Caribou feeding
A fairly common sight out on the tundra at this time of year.

Most of the bears are in good condition because of the lingering sea ice.
