Field Season 2006 part 2






Well to continue on with the previous post, i had 2 weeks in Terrace doing some prospecting. Now much of this ground has been coverd fairly well so we ended up going to some places not exactly where people didn't go but couldn't go because they were crazy cliffs! Anyways, i survived, but we did some repel sampling which was pretty sweet. We also got to do some helicopter recce work which was I was very lucky to do, just fly around in a helicopter for 4 hours and stop where ever you want to. Some days I really do remember why i do this job, even with all the seperation and time away, this was one of those days. We were again fairly lucky with the weather, although there was a few days that it was shitty, but we were staying in a house in terrace which made all the difference. It was really good to see the Terrace crew again, went to a really sweet party out of town, where there was horsehoes, badminton, bonfire, loud music and fun people. All this equaled one of the worst hangovers ever, i was completely useless and i blame it all on the 2am caesars. But they were SOOO good! After Terrace, Gallagher and I drove down to Cranbrook, going through Jasper. Now that town has wonderful scenery but man, nobody was answereing to our charms, and we were trying. But the drive was really incredible. I then flew back to Vancouver as my cousin Tracy was getting married in Whistler. It was really good to see all the relatives from ontario again, even if it was a big whirlwind tour. We were lucky and received gorgeous weather for the outdoor ceremony. I then flew back to Cranbrook to run a drill program 2 hours out of town. Living in a trailer, which was actually quite luxurious comparatively. By the end of the program it was snowing and so time to get out of there. I moved in with my buddy/coworker Jesse and here i am, gonna be working in the office for nov before heading on the crazy world tour at the start of dec starting with NZ. Stay tuned it's gonna be a dousey.
