Hullo,

This is my first blog. I feel so trendy, it makes me cringe a little...

I'm currently in Cranbrook, getting started in the office and starting to get familiar with the properties/geology/procedure. My first day of work was yesterday. I was happy to have a big task to work on – one that was pretty straight forward but time consuming. All I had to do was transfer data from old maps to the new maps by hand.

It sounds like I won’t be in Mike’s camp for very long, maybe a couple days and then I will be heading out to a fly camp. I will be part of an all-girl crew, which is new for me. We will be in a pretty cushy camp for most of the time – even in the fly camp we will supposedly have a cook.

My hotel is quite nice, although it is on the second floor (no elevator) and my bags feel like they have rocks in them (no John Moroskat, I didn't bring any with me). It has a fairly nice view.

From what I've heard Mike made it to Whitehorse and should have been in Mayo today. They were slinging in loads by helicopter to the camp. Other than that I have no idea what he's up to, I'm not sure he would know how to contact me and vice versa.

I head to Lethbridge tomorrow, then fly to Whitehorse on Sunday. Hopefully Mike will have something more interesting to post.

I apologize for the lack of photos...but I've tried to add them a few different ways now and it just won't work. We'll figure it out though :)

Have fun and see you all soon...
Mel
