Rankin Inlet Oct 12th to 17th 2011
This town started well by being met at the airport by a guy who brought me a vehicle. What a treat. A vehicle waiting for me.
Off to the hotel which boasts 50 rooms. A high speed access point was right outside the room so if the hotel wasn’t full, like it was in the evenings, you could actually surf a tiny bit and my black berry would work for BBM. Good for chatting with my southern friends. That always helps kill time.
I was in town to install 2 sites but much like Arviat the prime site had equipment we didn’t know about so I couldn’t finish it up. Because of this my trip was cut short by 2 days.
The weather was crappy fall weather similar to Arviat. It snowed 1 day but right after started raining making the whole place wet and slushy.
On my last day I did drive around and take a few pics. Again I kinda wish I was here in the summer or at least better weather. This place is like a real town with banks and more stores than just a Co-op and Northern store.
Like most places in Nunavut, the people were, for the most part, nice. So I have nothing either extraordinarily negative or positive to report.
