Every day on the flight into site, as we fly over the mountains we see Dhals sheep, moose, mountain goats and caribou. We have also seen bears, bald eagles and golden eagles. I wish I had brought the good camera and binoculars, instead of my little camera.
Today we were stationed on mile 50, it’s on the other side of the 'Plains of Abraham'. What a beautiful site to spend the day at. The work there was not difficult and we were done early, which allowed us to explore to the camp and the river.
The Plains of Abraham
The site is on the bank of the Keele River, the former Canol Pipe line crossed this river using a wire line and suspended the pipe from it.
Looking down stream, the river cuts through the rock and ends in a beautiful falls, so I’ve been told. It would have been nice to check it out, but we are here for work and not sight see, so I've been told.
Looking up stream at the white water, there is a whirlpool on the right side. At this location there is a creek that flows into the river, but at the same time the river has enough force to flow into the creek thus creating a whirl-pool effect.
Looking up to the site from the bank.
A massive trilobite that I found while walking on the beach.
I also recovered a piece of petrified wood.
On the trail heading toward the camp.
Our wildlife monitor, William is checking out one of the buildings at mile 50 for bears before we can have a look inside.
We found this Canol truck, it’s in need of servicing.
And the ride home.
Cheers from 10,000ft in the A-Star.
Did the trilobite startle the petrified wood? AH HAHAHAHAHAAHA
