5th August, Points North, SK

This morning was my morning to model the rack of moose. I look pretty good in my gumboots and Minor Bay fishing cap – it’s the mo that maketh the man. We were talking to this kiwi chopper pilot who has been here for a month and in the last 13 days he has been in the air for only a few hours. This huge Terraspec airborne EM? Survey equipment and Atitibi helicopter has been parked up for days. Seeing this machine get off the ground was good for the pilot as he finally gets to do some work. The geophysical equipment keeps on breaking down therefore it is a long drawn out (and expensive) process. We kept on powering through the work at West Bear. Wes is getting the hang of our Aussie slang too. On the way back, we just landed and another chopper pulled in. It’s pretty good seeing these machines work.
