Tomorrow

Well here I am, tomorrow is the day. Off to the farm I go - with the help of public transit. Plane, sky train, bus and foot. That's my mode of transportation. It will be quite the trip. It will end outside of Bill's Food and Feeds where the last bus I take will drop me off. Whitehorse has been great. Good friends and family, alongwith good food (last night we went out for mexican). Tonight will be our farewell campfire meal. One sister I won't see till December, the other I won't see till February.

My summer has been one full of challenges, as well as one full of new adventures, faces and kinds of enjoyment. Now I am off to another adventure. After this one hopefully I'll know much more about milking cows, harvesting vegetables and keeping bees, as well as more about myself.

Next time I add to this thing it will be from Vancouver Island. The sun will set at a normal time, the bugs will be bearable, and my thumb will be green (I'll keep my fingers crossed).

Kluane National Park




Eight days of trekking in the beautiful St. Elias mountain range. Only pure joy could have followed. The seven of us were often mesmerized by the sheer beauty and power of nature. Back at Robert Service Campground we're resting and enjoying eachtothers company before we all go our separate ways.

Jocelyn, Jeremy, Danielle and Jordan will be heading West, back to Ontario.

Colleen and Phil North back to Inuvik

And myself --- I'm heading South to Sooke. To Ragley Organic Farms.
