I got back from my 6 day camp at Gavin Lake northwest of 150 Mile House and went onto your website to get some up-to-date info, but have found nothing posted. So I need to do something different, or have you just not posted anything on your travel blog in the last week? I did get an email from you regarding the results of your 32 auctions, but nothing on your travel blog. I would love to hear how your journey is going. I had a great camp, with lots of learning about soils, ecology, badgers/spadefoot toads, ants, fishers, plus some great birding trips. I really enjoyed the people there, plus canoeing on the lake, great food and the passionate resource people we heard from. The weather was quite changeable – showers, some heavy rain at times for a short period, sun, a frost one night and generally cloudy conditions, but it was all quite manageable.
Today, back at home, I mowed my lawn, which had grown considerably with all the rain and warmth, did some weedeating, washed the clothes I had taken on my trip, then headed out to check my “bluebird” trail, which actually consists of 4 active swallows nests. It was disturbing to find a dead female swallow sitting on her eggs in one nest. I have put her in a plastic bag in my freezer to see if someone can determine why she died. Then I bought groceries and came home.
Do keep in touch – lots of love, mum.
