Back in van

Me and the ladies.

Last day of planting in Kamloops. Nothing warms you up after a day of rain like a block box fire.

Parking lot relaxing (I got to drive that big truck in the back to work!)

A night off in Kamloops at the Valleyview bowling alley.

Spring trees are done! As of June 15th I had put 96,707 trees in the ground this season. Meaning, my body is a bit tired. I'm currently sitting on the front porch of a home in Vancouver relaxing, and trying to recuperate before heading north all the way to Fort St John. For those who aren't aware, it's north of Edmonton. A far drive for a few more days of work, but it's worth it.

And after that, I get a real holiday. Back out East. Family, friends, my hometown festival, the Great Lakes. This season I have no doubt enjoyed. Planting trees is something else. You're alone all day in cut blocks, left to battle the bugs, and listen to as many Beyonce albums as you wish - every day, tree after tree. I travelled between 100 Mile House and Kamloops numerous times, Little Fort and Cache Creek being places I passed through frequently. Now, after a long roadtrip north I'll be on the last leg of the season, and ready to pursue a year of study in Vancouver. Till then, I'll be at the beach.
