Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.
This episode takes us up one of the Norwester Mountains near my hometown Thunder Bay, Ontario. I’ve been going up the mountain since 2007 and it was a big part of my winter routine with my boys when they were younger. This time it is just Luna and myself as we take in a beautiful winter day and huff and puff our way up to the Lost Mountain Lookout and beyond.
Enjoy!
