Photo Phriday!

or maybe Foto Friday?

Today's trav was pretty awesome, because we showed up at the pickup spot an hour and a half early after dawdling around in the bush all afternoon. It was pretty sweet after the rushing we had to do yesterday. This was partly because our trav was a bit shorter, but mostly because the bush was not horrendous, and almost enjoyable. Sure, we had to wrangle some foiliage, but it wasn't nearly as wily as it was a few days ago. The cliffy bits were even covered in moss (not good for geology, but good for climbing down). It was pretty neat.

But now the photos.

 This is that view of Mt Edziza that I've been talking about. This was on the end of the traverse from near the flanks of Snow Peak on Wednesday.








Wednesday again: This lovely little cariboo was being chased towards us by our coworkers.

It came up over the hill, stopped, stared at us, looked back at the other two as if it was thinking 'wait, I thought you were over there....but ...wait...oh no!' and then kept running up the hill past us.

This is Mt Edziza again from Thursday morning. It's such a beautiful peak. And apparently it's also Canada's highest volcano! You learn something new every day.

I was pretty darn excited to climb that hill yesterday, that I climbed to the highest point on the hill.

Why only do something halfway?

Today, waiting at our pickup spot (the swamp in the background), an inchworm was crawling all over my partner, so I saved him from the evil aggressive inchworm. I let the little guy crawl all over my hands for a while.
