It has been almost a week that I've been in the fancy schmancy Blende camp, north of Mayo. My time at the Lodge was absolutely amazing and it was very hard to leave. The people were so special there and the location was absolutely stunning. It's quite an isolated place, only accessible by VERY robust vehicles. Like the one pictured below:


This is the Czechoslovakian Army truck that the owners of the lodge use to transport people and gear back and forth from the 'good' part of the Canol Road to the Lodge. It rides like a dream!

There were lots of things to do in the evenings. The weather was usually nice so we would find things to do outside. Although, there were some hazards:


This is Bronwen trying to catch up on her reading with a little help from the horses. We also had intense games of Extreme Croquet:


Which required serious skill to avoid the piles of horse manure spaced throughout the course. And if we ever got bored of that, we could always watch Bronwen juggle:


Getting back to work though, we got to see some really neat wildlife:

Of course, it all had to come to an end:


But I was extremely fortunate to end up in Mike’s camp for the rest of my time here. I managed to snag a couple days off in Mayo with Mike, to preserve my sanity and catch up on some must needed sleep. Thanks again to Kerri and Trevor in Mayo, we had a wonderful time. Tomorrow we get to go out on traverse together, which is fantastic! Take care and see you all soon.
