We stayed in Moose Factory last night. It has ice road access from Moosonee in the winter, water taxi in the summer.
This morning, Yves and I walked the three kilometers to Moosonee, to meet the freight train. It was a little dicey around a large slushy area. Our feet remained dry.
Moose Factory was a point of entry for fur trade - we come across a heritage building.
Relieved to see both vehicles arrive this morning. We will get a decent start up the ice road to Attawpiskat. We get our first view of the ice road from Moose Factory.
And we soon discover that the truck battery is frozen. I am not going to ask, "How much longer?"
