rhinos in the rockies

We just got home from an amazing 2 week fire near Golden, BC. The fire was at 6000 feet, right in the rockies so the terrain was steep and the views were spectacular. Pretty much my ideal fire, in fact, made all the better by the fact that we stayed in a beautiful log lodge and ate in restaurants every day.

Still, it's nice to finally have some time off to relax and catch up on sleep and chores. Ok, and to party it up a bit. I'm sure there will be some great pics after our big rookie party slash year-ender tomorrow night.

Dustin and Alex hard at work


A burnt-out bear den...or so we figured


Working and enjoying the view of Kinbasket lake.


"Oh, please make the helicopter stop!" A hungover Jodie on the long flight to work at 7am.


Just another day at the office - John reading the morning paper on the way to work.


Cooling off after a long hot day on the fire.
