It was in late January 2008 when 16 members of the Ski-with-the-Cree 2008 team stepped off the Polar Bear Express at the Moosonee train station and met up with Philip Sutherland and Clarence Trapper of the Moose Cree First Nation from Moose Factory Island located 15 kilometres south of James Bay in northern Ontario (see Google Map). Since some of my fellow traveler have reported the trip in detail, I shall refrain myself from repeating the same account, but will share with you the pictures I took during the voyage as well as some of my post "expedition" thoughts.
