Baker Lake has several bloggers operating there. Which isn't surprising given how large the community is. Was anyone else surprised to learn that about 2400 people live there? If I'm not mistaken there are about 4 blogs that are active, but the blogger that I'm most familiar with is Jennith's. Jennith just celebrated her 5 year blogoversary, and if I'm not mistaken three of those years have been in Nunavut.
Jennith and I have been corresponding and commenting back and forth since before her move to Nunavut. She writes the delightful Blog Bog of the Tundra. Often her posts are accompanied by some very nice photography as she explores the wild and flora around Baker Lake, the Rockies, or the Canadian Shield.
We managed to get together at her place for coffee and a fantastic muffin one Sunday morning during a lull in the conference. It was a wonderful conversation that went by far too quickly.
And here is proof, an out of focus portrait of the two of us. Had the focus set on just the centre, darn wildlife photography. At least the packing bunny is a little sharper.

Man, we’ve gotta get those going again here in Yellowknife. We only seem to get together when someone from Nunavut comes to town.
Unfortunately the Iqaluit meet up didn’t go ahead as planned. My time in Iqaluit was greatly shortened by travel plans. I arrived late, left early.
I never wrote on Jennith’s blog but is almost one year I’m following it.Thanks to it I enjoyed wonderful pics and found your and few other interesting ones. Good to see you two bloggers I follow hanging together ! As soon as I red you were in Baker lake I went on “the blog bog of the tundra” to take a look. In fact, she wrote about you and your blog.
You wrote “Often her posts are accompanied by some very nice photography…” I absolutely agree and I should say yours too. And thanks to those photos people like me can enjoy and see a glance of the wonderful places where you guys live.
Hope one day to visit both your communities and you guys if you ‘ll be there.

Greetings from me and the stoic packing bunny. I hope that our discussion of air travel in the north wasn’t what jinxed your travel plans. Thanks for your kind words and yours as well Nick.
Thanks Nick. I’ll almost be guaranteed to be here when you come visit. I don’t wander too far from home usually.
Give the packing bunny my best Jennith. It was a long day on Tuesday, but it worked out in the end, as I got home when I originally planned.
Kia ora Clare,
I have always found it very cool and reaffirming to meet fellow bloggers.It has always been a pleasurable experience.If you ever get to New Zealand Pete and I will be happy to show you around:)

Kia ora Robb. Now that would be a blogging meetup that would probably top my list.
