A nice sunny day today. The boys were out to West Bear again. As this area is only accessible by helicopter during summer, in order to move things out, they have to sling them in a net that is hooked onto to helicopter via a long line. The long line can be hooked on while the helicopter is still running with its blades rotating. Dan had the pleasure of doing this task.
It was a late one trying to get as many loads out as possible. The tamaracs, a deciduous pine tree, looked nice and yellow in the late afternoon sun.
It was a nice night out. Christine and I went out for a walk taking our obligatory bear bangers and bear spray.

Later that evening, just as we were about to go to bed, Dan poked his head outside the door and quickly called me out. Nature had put on the most spectacular display we have ever seen. The Northern Lights!!! It is difficult to describe just how truly breathtaking these lights actually are. They swirl in the sky like green smoke, quickly changing. Then all of a sudden, they dance across the sky in a dazzling display of greens, purples and pinks. The best of last nights display went for around 30 minutes. We have never seen anything like this and we both agreed it was one of the most unforgettable moments. It was nice out, a balmy 4 degrees Celsius.
We had to get Judy, our night baker, to come watch.
Tan is one week down with three more to go. Alcohol free!!
