Last night Vikki waited and waited. It was well past dark. Well past the time Bryan usually calls in. At 6:25 Bryan called on the SBX. She could hear in his voice his excitement. "I have pictures of the Sutlahine" "I stood on the shore" "You would not believe how different it is here. Lots of small birds, lots of animal tracks, but still a lot of snow. Must be at least 6 feet." (It is a lower elevation and further south west then here).
We'd made it there 2 years ago in the late spring.....last year there was not enough snow ...... now he was there and it was still trapping season.
He said he'd stay one more night out on the line and set out more traps. "Be back Tuesday".
He said..... no promises but with the weather looking like it will warm up on Thursday maybe you and the dogs can make the trip and spend the night. NOW THAT IS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. Vikki has only been on that run once this winter and that was only to Walkers Valley line cabin. In past years she went every time.
