Last few. I'm headed home in a few hours, contract finished for now, but I'm scheduled back in mid-August. Got a few other job offers come in recently that I may snag though...
Some waterfalls:
Half the lakes are still frozen:
Inukshuks allover the place...
Core samples at an old drill site:
Old camp:
Big ass mosquito photo-bombed my shot. Luckily they just started last night...
You can see how damn rocky it is everywhere...
So I took a slip the other night hiking through one of those rock fields and smacked my shin. Next leg I'm toeing the helicopter into the side of a mountain trying to drop these guys off and my shin starts throbbing like a mother-fucker. We finished the site and I flew back to camp, then pulled my pants up to find this....
Swelling has gone down significantly and it's turned the entire area black and blue. Still flying with it, but there's another scar to match the rest. SOST fixed my last shin injury, right next to this one about eight months ago. My shins are a mess. Used to race mountain bikes and do half-pipe shit on BMXs in my youth, which is really hard on shins. Never seen one swell like that though.
Packed and waiting for the charter South.....
