Lived in the nwt for many years as a kid. Highlights? A lot:
- good schools. I miss Ms. Carter
- travel extensively through Yukon
- great shape: shoveled a lot of snow and frozen Canadian ice cream. Lots of cross country skiing
- maple walnut icecream is awesome. Hard to find in the usa
- had a decent fossil collection for a while
- got into a lot of trouble (having fun). Still know k-6 principal name (Ms. Wind and her paddle. She might remember me too).
- awesome/epic snowball fights. I should have pitched for the Yankees
- appreciation for beauty of land nature
- caught my first fish in the keele River. Smoked it
- cold nights makes well read kids
- a piece of sputnik fell to earth not too far from us
- as ref almost all Canadians live very close to us border. The nwt capital (yellowknife) is on great slave lake about 40 degree north. You live there because you are a native, geologist, government worker. Named after local tribe
- great bear lake is one lake up from great slave
- Unofficial national dessert? Strawberry short cake or rhubarb pie.
- ghc 3y ago> maple walnut icecream is awesome. Hard to find in the usa First I've heard of it being hard to find. It's everywhere in New England.

- pdonis 3y ago> The nwt capital (yellowknife) is on great slave lake about 40 degree north I think you mean about 62 degrees north latitude?
- AlotOfReading 3y agoI suspect they looked up the latitude for the Great Salt lake instead, which is around 41N or ~40N if you're rounding down to SLC.
- aidenn0 3y ago> - maple walnut icecream is awesome. Hard to find in the usa It's fairly findable in the Northeast (as is maple walnut fudge). The best maple walnut ice cream I've ever had was at a place called Brickley's[1] in Rhode Island. 1: https://www.brickleys.com/ https://www.brickleys.com/
- scrubs 3y agoYou're right. If you are in Maine or north of Boston you can probably get it ie NE corner of US. I'm NYC area ... and it's persona non grata. Thanks for the link
- aidenn0 3y agoI'd put the "must be north of" city at Hartford for the ice cream, but you're right about the NYC area. I've seen maple-walnut fudge as far south as Pennsylvania though.
- opticfluorine 3y agoIs maple walnut ice cream not a thing across the US? I grew up in New England not far from the Canadian border, now live in upstate NY and have easy access to maple walnut ice cream. Never realized how lucky I was.
- also23throwaway 3y agoDon’t live in the northeast, and this is the first time I’m hearing about the existence of maple walnut ice cream.
