These pictures were taken in July of 2003, while planting for Mostowich Lumber.

The sun sets on Fox Creek.

The walk into one of Paul's blocks.

Tower's main cache for the day, near the entrance to one of his blocks.

A random coyote head that was found at the main cache.

A white-tail deer that did not appear to be too worried about us standing twenty feet away.

Jonathan Pike.

Quadding trees out onto the block past a rather large log deck.

Checking back on one of the blocks that we had planted five years ago.

Tower, fighting with the large tarp in the wind, as he tries to get boxes of trees to load his quad.

Fred from Amoco, demonstrating a pair of radial tire chains to us, which are much lighter than conventional tire chains.

Sitting around the camp fire, with Sarah trying to play a long woodwind instrument of some kind.

Byron's crew, walking into a new block at breakfast.

Tower's crew, getting ready for another hot day on the block.

Tower, looking a little frustrated with the reclaimed roads that make it harder to get the quads into the blocks.

Carmen, working on her chain saw safety lessons.

Kyle Matthias, one of our area coordinators.

Kent Borgstrom, busy throwing plots.

A spruce seedling. They've all got to be this straight at Mostowich if we want to get paid for our work.

Max, coming back to the truck for another box.

That's me - a few of us were out one night doing some chain-saw work for Paul, laying down some wood so he could get his quad through a particularly wet seismic line on the way into his block.

Nicole.

Jason Stanley.

Tower, playing the flute for the crowd.

A bit of disorganization getting the quad trailer out of the ETV.

Water jugs - it's important not to forget these on a hot day.

Carmen, excited about a new day.

Here's Chris, using the magnifying glass to burn a name into a shovel.

Shelley, getting a few of the lunch items ready.

Mike Wagner.

Relaxing during the camp breakdown, waiting for the reefer to arrive.

Planning the events of the next day.

Scirolli, caught red-handed sneaking some cheese.

Nigel, working on his "GQ" cover pose.

Loading the camp into the Whitecourt Transport reefer. This was one of our quickest loads ever - just over 40 minutes to get the entire camp fully loaded into the truck. Of course, as usual, it took quite a few more hours before all the personal effects were packed up, and the camp site was fully scoured for garbage.
