15-19th October, 2007 - Points North/Raven, SK

It's been very quiet up here at the moment, so a four day update in one. We stayed two nights at Raven camp and thanks to the Mark and Mark from Britton, they got our stove going in our uninsulated summer tent. It was cool there and your breath was condensating in the tent. I had to spend some time with some geotechnical consultants at Raven as well.

Other than that we hung out at Points. I thought I saw a moose but it was Tan!!

We have had a few beautiful days up here, an indian summer, with one day of 14 degrees. It was like a heat wave. It's cooler now and we are expecting snow tomorrow.

Tan was amazed with the way we turn the heater on in the core shack. We use a core tray lid and lean across as Matt, our legendary fieldie, expertly is showing below.

We have been busy planning our November break. First up the Rockies - Banff and Jasper in the shoulder season and later in the month, Mexico, so Tan can chase the sun!!!

Here's the forecast for the next few days. Not really cold on the Saskatchewan scale but cold for some Aussies! Looks like we will be out of Saskatchewan at month end.
