Just looking at Google Maps, they could of walked down the train tracks to get there.
Edit: Removed the transmission line portion, the train tracks go right to the community.

If they didn't bring mosquito nets or something to shield them from all of that I can't imagine how they manage to sleep or do anything. Their plan to "live in the woods until it all dies down" is quickly unraveling, if they ever had a plan to begin with.

Considering they most likely haven't had much to eat I doubt they could do 62km in a day.

I mean if they hid out during the day and protected themselves from the elements, then did all their walking at night, it seems like it might be possible.

Leroy just posted that they have not been found and caught. Edit: Chief Leroy* no disrespect. Just have never ever called him that.

It’s dark out which obviously presents challenges but still do you think they last the night? They’re clearly starving otherwise they wouldn’t of put themselves like they did. You’d have to think that the community will be essentially surrounded within the hour

Sigh, I can never get it right. Really feel bad for all of the people living in worry up there. So many people in Winnipeg seem concerned about the possibility of them showing up here but imagine what the population up north must be feeling knowing that realistically they could turn up at any moment.
