Day 8: Romping Around James Bay

11/30/2014

With no less than 4 cameras snapping, we've got some data management to stay on.

Lakota (who is currently in the win for the RR section!)


Keith (who is looking to snap the top spot on the ADV front page)


We leave our humble abode for the main road in Radisson. Relais Outtfitter having recently been remodeled under new management is a quite a gem! During the height of caribou, it will be basecamp for 150 caribou hunters. We had reservations, but I am sure you could probably walk up and get a room during the summer quite easily. However, it's a gamble because there is not much competition elsewise!





Moto transport is NOT the most efficient way to traverse this beautiful land. We've seen helos up close, float planes and puddle jumpers. We not seen pontoon helos, but we see landing areas for them, so they probably show up too! In fact, there are a ridiculous amount of float plane bases and gravel runways serving this 700KMs of road.









But it looks like a GS driveshaft in the tail




flora


berries to feed the black bears


Big bears, more berries


Are you a fun guy? Fungi really.


Keith is going to need to stretch that back out...that gas can in a hour or two is going to be heavy (when he refuses to fuel at the only gas station we pass all day). He'll never make it a KTM rider




All this gas filling makes another GS sleepy. The Jesse cases did just fine, the jesse racks not so much.


Very artistic tail spin in the dirt


All smiles come off the TransTaiga!






You can't miss the transtaiga road, however, garmin doesn't have an accurate map. I highly recommend that you use tracks not routes for this road, lest your GPS spend most of the time "recalculating".

37F this am. Off to short trek to James Bay.
