albert did try to get out of the bussiness including his BC based eco adventure operation. he ran into problems on both "sales" and is back running the show.

jdrocks & dentondoc are right on. Albert is DEFINITELY back in the saddle at Goldseekers.

BTW, Albert has discontinued his bed & breakfast service at his base of operations. If you're looking for a place to stay, Red Lake is your best bet. We're all piling into the Norseman.

I used to be nearly impossible to get find a place to stay in Red Lake, but this year is different. Should have no troubles finding a good place.

If the Norseman Inn is booked try the Natures Inn in Balmertown.

Places to eat are limited but the few places there is are pretty good. I personally like eating at the Lakeview, basic food at a fair price and good service. The Howey Bay Motel has decent food, service is sometimes slow but that is the north.

There are a few hidden gems too. Left at the lights is a spot called Antonio's. Best food in town, but a little pricey.

Jim J Solo -- This last shot reminds me of a site I once stayed on in Wabikimi Park... Great shot, thanks.

At that particular site, my buddy went off in the bush to attend to nature's business, unfortunately he practiced really bad site selection....right over a ground nest of bees. I've never seen a 65-year old man move so fast, and the bees were right after him. We counted over 20 bites -- from his legs to his head. Lucky for him, and me, he wasn't allergic to the bee stings. Ever since that trip I carry an Epi-pen.

Super helpful. I totally want to cover a garage wall will that map collage behind their counter...at the park station in Red Lake. Hey, has anyone done a fly in to the Haugherty River area? I think I spelled that right. Heard that is a hot spot for the caribou. I figure that is wear we will go when the boy finishs elementary school-psuedo graduation....then maybe the coppermine or the eskerlands @ graduation-if he still likes hangin' with me that is......The vultures and ravens were excellent too.....

We did a self guided...not knocking anyone at goldseekers. We got great help through the park's office in Red Lake, have forgotten the gals name...on the tip of my tongue....dang! Super nice never the less!

Marlin55388,

Would that have been "Claire"?

That individual has been extremely helpful to our group's preparation for this year's trip.

Also... Prouboy's words-to-the-wise re: treading lightly on the fragile ecosystem of WCP are much appreciated & will be heeded as much as possible by our group.

We are excited at the prospect of coming to appreciate the differences between the ecosystems. I have already ordered the books that Supt. Doug flagged for me in his QJ thread. I figure I have at least another 10-12 years left (physically) to tackle challenging new places. I plan to make the most of those.
