Camp Update: 06.29.10 by Brad
Camp Update by Brad:Camp life is good! Even on rainy/windy days we know how to keep people cozy and enjoy some quality R&R time. It may not look like it but Joyce is hard at work keeping the fire stoked and fresh treats baking for the guests and guides who are bound to be a little soggy when they come back in from the field. Makes for a great atmosphere to share stories and photos of the day while getting everyone dried out, warmed up, and re-energized for another trek into the wilderness in the evening.

Camp: Mailbox Encounter! ©BGarasky
Camp Update from Brad:Has anyone seen the mailman??? Hope he faired better than the mailbox! We had a big breeding male make his presence known nearby Camp late at night. Tossed around the chairs by point (looking for a comfy seat?), pushed around the boats in camp (trying to go fishing in style?), and the mailbox... well you can see. He was just letting us know he was around and we were occupying his turf. Overall, he was a compliant bear and moved on when I made my presence known. Kept the evening interesting.
