Next week we will be traveling on Lake Winnipeg . Lake Winnipeg is a huge, 300-mile long lake that we will be traveling on for the rest of the adventure. We make a 50-mile crossing of the lake and hop from island to island. The islands are spread out between 5 and 20 miles apart. After we cross the lake, we will travel down the Eastern shore of the lake. After we cross the lake, how close to shore should we travel? If we stay really close to shore, we will probably see more animals, but the snow will be deeper and make travel harder. If we stay out a little further from shore, we might miss a few animals, but travel will probably be easier. The last option would be to travel far from shore. We would have little chance of seeing wildlife, but we would encounter the easiest and fastest travel conditions. Remember the faster we travel the more time we have to explore after we set up camp, which is often the best time to encounter animals.

What should we do?

A)Stay really close to shore and probably see more animals, but have harder travel conditions.

B) Stay out a little further from shore where it is easier to travel, but close enough to see most of the animals that are likely to be along the edge of the lake.

C) Travel far from shore with little chance of seeing wildlife, but the easiest and fastest travel conditions.

What animal should we try to find and talk about in our journal entries this week?

A) The Beaver

B) The fox

C) The Raven
