Red Lake Bush Adventures

The good people of Red Lake are pleased to hear that the dESPairados may soon return to their area. Winter is hard upon us here and flights, when weather allows, are primarily limited to supply runs and medivacs for the more remote mines and communities, and a few MNR animal count outings. We also try to get out to the outposts to check the roof snow loads and shovel them off when needs be.
