Wishing Scott and Ivan the best on the retirement of the Robertson Trading Post in Lac La Ronge. You can only work your ass off so long in life. I’m sure you’ll be traveling and portaging along.

Great article here about the post. Ivan and Scott were by far the fittest people I met at St. John’s. Their knowledge of the bush and surviving in it rivaled anyone else’s skills. They were known as the Bush Babies, in recognition of their bush prowess. I am still in awe after all these years. I felt confident being anywhere with these guys.

The line of the article that stands out, for me; “This place leaves an indelible mark on your soul.”
The people connections they have made, priceless!
