It has been quite sometime since I last posted. The reason? I had set out to tree plant, and as anyone who has had a job in a bush camp, it can be a challenge to contact the outside world. The season, as we had anticipated, looked promising and very inviting from the perspective of Prince George, BC. We crossed our fingers for perfect weather conditions only to secretly admit what we knew was to greet us at the threshold of Vanderhoof. There were subtle signs at first, heavy rain and cool gusts of wind, but as we plunged deeper into the woods down the logging roads, the snow revealed itself in a silent laughter. Peeking around corners and distant blocks, and then threateningly close to our location where we were destined to set up camp. It was a Deja Vu for some and a surprise to others. Such is the life of planting, and I'm sure, to most Oil field workers and Forestry workers alike. I can't promise a steady update through the season but I'll do what I can. It's my sixth season out here, planting for Folklore Contracting Ltd., and I won't go as far to say it will be my last because it's those famous last words for every Vet who again returns.
Cheers!
