The Real Journey to Churchill

Фильм және анимация

Our family's journey to Churchill, Manitoba.
We drove from Winnipeg to Thompson and then took the train up to Churchill. Once there we went on the Frontiers North Tundra Buggy looking for polar bears, went dog sledding (without snow) and then went exploring.

    At 9:33, in the distance you see reddish rocks on the right of the screen. To the right of that was Fort Churchill Military Base. This is where my sister and I were born and raised until 1974. It was closed in '75 and I believe bulldozed in '77. Great place to be a kid.

    Great video. On my bucket list for sure. Was only a couple of months old when I left with brother and mom in 1959. Dad was stationed in navy up there and finished his tour a few months later. Have seen a lot of old black and white photos but this is great.

    Awesome video! Very well done. I hope you enjoyed your time in our town, it sure seems you got quite the experience in 3 days up there. My favourite part was knowing right away who your youngster was talking about when the train man told him no kids allowed. That's our good friend Dave.

    So far to get there from Sweden though, first it takes more than 24 hour just to get to Winnipeg, so I would spend almost 150 hours just transporting if I take the train from Winnipeg, and do the same when returning back home

    Hi, I love a family roadtrip and drove 6 weeks each summer with my own 4 sons when they were growing up. So your video brought back incredible memories :) One thing I don't understand is that I heard there were no roads into Churchill - only planes and trains. Yet you are driving there? Can you help me to understand how this works?

    Always reassuring when on a train to see a ton of derailed train cars littered all around the tracks. Kinda like pulling into an airport with crashed planes all around.
