Left: one of the lists Ev uses to organize camping, enlarged here so you can actually read it (no secrets in the WODC).

Clutching their tools, the happy couple poses besides their winter home. That strange growth out of Ev’s left shoulder is the stovepipe. Note the his & hers sleds.

Fred & Ev were (typically for WODC) in the vanguard of a trend. We note that a recent travel section of the NYTimes states that Ukaliq Wilderness Adventures offers a three day winter exploration of the Tobeatic Wilderness area in Nova Scotia where you can snowshoe and stay overnight in a tent. Wow! Prices start at $1,150 (Canadian) for two people. I see this as a business opportunity for WODCers.

Right: Sheldon shows the frictionless (almost) polyethylene bottom of his sled.

Below: The luxurious interior of Sheldon’s tent — the ne plus ultra of winter camping facilities.

A wood and canvas Roorkhee chair. Above: assembled. Below: disassembled for transport.

Sheldon’s innovative toboggan. Above: at rest. Below: at work. Question for you mystery fans: Is that a body Sheldon’s hauling?
