Terry returned yesterday from Lac de Gras. He had hoped to paddle from there up the Coppermine River to Kugluktuk. While the ice had broken there several weeks ago, the headwater of the river at Lac de Gras was still frozen solid yesterday. Sheets of ice still floated on the lake. While Terry had thoughts of waiting for the river to open, demands in the south saw him return by float plane.
While disappointed at not travelling the Coppermine, Terry took the positive view that he did get the best part of a month on the Barrens.
