First aid emergency drill. That's Liz, one of our five OFA3's, holding the stretcher.
Another photo of the emergency drill. It's always useful to do these drills, because we often discover problems that we wouldn't want to have discovered during a real emergency.
Waiting for a train.
Looks like I'm not going to be driving any further this way.
Wilson, filling up some jerry cans.
Gabe, looking embarrassed to be in the truck.
Log decks.
Box fire. Burning garbage boxes at Troy's house.
Planters relaxing after dinner.
Driving to Alberta.
Near McBride.
Now that is a deal. Thank you IGA. Massive sub for only $9. Two of these puppies and I'd actually be full for a few hours.
Also near McBride.
Wilson and David, checking out a block.
Adam.
Kyler.
Putting a tree in the ground.
Mike, trying to stay ahead of Kyler.
A small piece of a big block. One quarter million trees on a single block.
A duck.
A road sign.
Mike, planting a tree.
Justin.
Mieke's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest.
I don't think it's supposed to be upside down. Let's just say that Wilson's crew has displayed a serious lack of engineering skills on this project.
Warning sign, crews ahead.
Pulling some garbage off the block.
This is NOT our truck. This has a canvas canopy. I've always thought these were the sign of an unprofessional company. They only last a couple years because the wind on the highways tears them to pieces. They don't do a very good job of shading boxes. A company is better off spending the money building a solid wooden canopy for the back of the pickups, with proper insulation. The canopy will last forever, and it will keep the trees a lot cooler. It's also better security if you've got a quad in the back of the truck overnight.
David, planting.
A skidder.
Collecting tallies at dinner.
Best dessert ever. I don't usually have time for dessert, in fact, I often eat hours after everyone else. But I spotted this dessert and it was definitely worth investigating.
David, working on his quad.
Group photo - Sean's crew.
Mike, changing a quad tire as his crew starts to walk into their block. A bit of snow this morning.
Andrea, laughing at the snow.
No vehicles or open flame within 75 feet. But apparently, target practice is ok.
Wilson, cleaning up garbage in the evening.
Kyler. He must have thought it would be a long day, since he wore his pajamas to work.
Graham and Stephane, testing the propane connections.
It's not often that I get to take a photo of a grizzly bear from about twelve feet away. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to hang around and really set the camera up properly for this shot, for obvious reasons.
