Lonely Outpost in the Wilderness
I sent my camera along with Nick yesterday as he was cruising some timber along the Canadian border.
Expecting him to get some nice vista shots across the Rainy River into Canada, instead he returned with a couple dozen pics of trees, trails and other interesting sights.
This one caught my eye as I wondered what a Border Patrol or RCMP Officer would have to do to get assigned to this lonely outpost with temps nearly 30 below and windchills compounding this.
OK Bob, A serious question: Are the Mounties trying to keep us out or their people in?

Hi Bob - Good question. Maybe posting plagiarized content or violating the community guidelines?

Bob, wow, to get assigned to that post one must have insulted a pretty high up muckety-muck! LOL. I suppose someone has to do it!

Bob,
I know they want to keep us out. That guy must have made someone unhappy. A

You make me wonder how the poor guy keeps warm at this remote outpost. I hope he has some good books for the long winter nights.

Peace and quiet...one with nature. I can think of worse assignments for sure.

I agree with Tom White and you....man, he must have been a bad boy. Even solitude couldn't keep me from freezing my 4$$ off there!

Bob - I guess it depends on whether you like the cold. I think it would be great in the summer.

Maybe they'd have to be investigating the existence of Big Foot...or just piss off the boss.

Hello Bob ... interesting post I might add and as the years go by, so does our friendliness with Canada and other countries ;o/
