When I was in Kugluktuk I noticed a real fad. Every male wears a hoodie and every male did the same thing with his hat and hood when he had to take his hat off. This is Chad who ran the Complex where the court was held:
Here he is with his hoodie and hat and then without:

Then when the males appear in court this is what they do:

They just shove everything back. When the Justice saw it she would ask them to remove their hat. 
It seemed as if everyone had a boat. Even people with ATVs pulled their boat down to the dock:

But as I was walking down the road I saw this:

He was pulling his boat with this old tractor.


Today I did walk to Apex along the path and returned. The tide was out but it would never reach the path. At times the path went through big boulders and some times it went through meadows. It ended in Apex at the Hudson Bay buildings. 

In the 'meadows' there were quite a few different flowers including the Territorial flower, the saxifrage:

When I was returning I noticed some ravens flying/soaring off the top of the cliff. I stood around waiting for them to repeat it and try to get a photo. Well they zoomed up behind me, likely thinking that I had food as there was a wooden bench a little further up.  I had nothing to eat so just tried to capture a good photo:

They were pretty cheeky. There were about five of them and I tried to get a photo of them soaring but no great ones. Will have to practice.
