On a fine Thanksgiving weekend afternoon, the sisters Rusnak decided to take friends on a horseback riding adventure through the colourful woods of Thunder Bay. Needless to say, I think we all got a little more than we bargained for.

Talking about the October moose hunt, and regretting our choice of neutral colours for the ride through the forest, we arrived at friend's house to pick up a fellow rider. Pulling up in the driveway, we saw an elaborate painting of a moose on the garage door. And we bet you can guess what we found behind it...

Poor Mr. Moose was hung from the ceiling, killed just a few hours before. Could there be anything more Northern than this? We seriously doubt it. In case some of you are disturbed by this image, we were assured that Mr. Moose was killed quickly and will be enjoyed by many a family member. I don't think we'll ever be able to think about the moose hunt the same way again.

We did, however, make it out to the ranch to go on our much anticipated horse ride and hope there will be many more rides in the future. And so the adventures in the Great White North continue...
