arctic_front Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Armstrong, Wandering River, Steen River, Pickle Lk., Wayakwin Sk., Wabasca..... Yup all bad! The worst for me was Red Rock Camp ( camp cholera ) S.W. of Grand Prairie, 2003. A mudbog worse than anything that could be built on purpose even for a 4X4 competition. Inuvik, NWT: Not sure if it still happens there, but Tuesday nights at the Finto. 'Scotch Night'. Great night, but Wednesday's were always a bad day for some reason.

Skidmark Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Fun thread. Its made me cringe a few times. The two I could add to the list are Wrigely and Fort Good Hope NWT. Funny story about Pukatawagan. Got an engine chip light flying by the town so I went in and landed to check it out. When I phoned operations i was told I'd be better off stranded in the bush than in town. The chip plug wasn't too bad so I carried on to Thompson. Not much better but found a nice bar, Fire and Ice I think it was called????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjw57 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ft.Ware top end of Wiliston lake could'nt leave the machine for fear it might not all be there upon our return. AFS Buffalo camp, a lovely line camp. Awoke to the sound of rain one evening to discover it was a fire fighter taking a leak against our wall tent... And all the other great places mentioned before with the exception of those in the high arctic, hey I got my limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Reed Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 This one for our crews, luckily I never made it there. Mc...ld's Camp north of Nakina Ontario,,they could write a book about it, and the Abitibi fellas are still there,,,,they deserve a medal or a free labotomy, but were great to work beside. 40 plus with one shower that was cleaned around 98 or so. Rats and mice in kitchen....oh man. Ya I did a tour on their 205 there in Dec...... worst conditions ever! Drafty tent, kerosene heaters that work, well sometimes, and my personal fav, out houses! in -30 to 40. The, ummm....fragrent cones shall we say, were high enough to tickle your bum!! Untill Dave came by and broke them off with a 2X4! WORST PLACE EVER! You couldent pay me enough to go back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimit Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Stu Bl****on's camps near Ekati. But bless his "frugal" soul, he gave a bunch of us our first flying jobs, though I hear that one guy never flew again and became a dentist... Probably the smart one!
