Looking for Eldorado.

Came across this strange looking do dad laying on the north ramp of the airstrip yesterday.

I have seen these things get bigger and stranger over the last few years, but had not seen anything quite this size before.

I would think it rather a challenge for the helicopter pilot having that thing swaying underneath you.


Back in town the scene down near the dock has changed dramatically this past two weeks.
First the old take out building was demolished; a lot of the younger crowd were a bit nostalgic over that according to Face Book.

Then buy Friday the old Northern Store was completely demolished.

In my time here that store received several additions and name changes. On arrival it was Evans & Goodwin.
It then became Goodwin’s and increased in size a couple of times.

It then was taken over by the North West Company and became Northern.

Now it is down the dump.

The new area is here.

For the uninitiated; the Take Out would have been on the right and Northern on the left of the picture.
