Photo by Bart Deferme.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m midway through my winter adventure in Saskatchewan. Along with photographer Bart Deferme, I&#8217;ve been fortunate to plunge into this wild, wonderful landscape in the southern boreal forest in the heart of Canada. I was intrigued because I knew little about central Canada and while I expected it to be up my alley for adventure, it&#8217;s been even better than I hoped. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a quiet place and the stillness is reinforced by the biting chill (average temp has been around minus 25\u00b0 F) but oh so lovely. There&#8217;s been little wind, which could easily change the equation into something more miserable. Toughness is required as is a positive attitude, but imagine if you will the magical moment when you are crossing a hard-frozen lake by dogsled, framed by stout spruce trees under an electric blue sky. Serenity has a way of overwhelming the cold &#8212; at least in small doses. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve gotten to track elk and wolves under a blazing moon along with our overnight dogsled adventure. There&#8217;s one more day of wild animal watching then all too soon, it&#8217;s back to balmy Colorado, with it&#8217;s high 50s temps. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be writing up more details soon but had to share the giddiness and glee of traveling to such an amazing place. It reminds me why I love to travel off the beaten path and how important it is to take the time to glimpse into some of the truly more wild places on planet earth!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m midway through my winter adventure in Saskatchewan.
