Finally the weather and life lined up way to perfectly this week and got out on a extended winter camp.... and as I type this it is pouring rain on this Friday
So a job for a client had me heading 63km into the back country and after finishing that it was back down to the 55km mark to spend the rest of Monday through Thursday alone with a Local Moose beside a lake.
This will be picture heavy as no better way to enjoy the scenery that is.
Loaded up ..2:30pm time to make tracks and find a spot to set up at before darkness settles in
