Dear Journal #2,

What a great flight from Campbell River to Yellowknife the capital of North West Territories. There sure are lots of mountains, but we crashed into an enormous one. I am the only survivor.

I walked about three hours and finally got to Yellowknife where I went to an old miners hotel and rested.

The next morning I woke up at 4:00am to go ice fishing. There were still awesome northern lights that lit up the sky. I travelled by snowmobile on my way to a remote lake. I saw a Gyr falcon then we jigged for char, through a hole in the ice. Later we watche the world champion dogsled races.

Yellowknife is the best location in the world for viewing the aurora borealis. It is home to about 20,000 people. Yellowknife's name comes from the fact that the local native people used knives with yellowish copper blades. Not only is there gold up here but there are diamonds too!

After I went for a walk on the streets to see if there really was gold under those old streets.

Bye, I have to go to my next trip...
