Haha, we came back a day early, so it was a short trip, really too short! but 3 days in the bush is better than no days in the bush! So not much to report, but there is a few random pictures in random order!!
So we left for 4 days came back a day early... We went in the area of Kluane lake a few hours drive from our place. The idea was to go look for bisons, Karine had talked to the bison biologist and she said that the week before our departure the bison were there... She was right, they WERE there hahaha. After about 20 some km of snowmobiling yes we were with a friend that have 3 machine so we manage to get there in a different way that we usually use, we set up camp on a hill top in what seemed to be sheltered from the prevailing wind... Until the wind change in the evening... But the snow trekker is such a good tent that it didn't matter!!
Took the usual 2hrs for setting up camp from start to finish. we had supper at around 9pm... Since, well, spring is here cause it was still day light!! Windy, windy windy but fairly warm!!
Next day, after breakfast, we all went separate ways, I went snowshoeing for a few hours circling the area we were in, looking in all the hole and eskers to search for fresh tracks/signs of there presence!! Karine and Sophie went on the trail going south and Rock went back on the trail we came in!! We got back to camp at different times for a late lunch.
Then late afternoon we got on the machine for a short ride on the trail we rode in to have a look at some "fresh" signs we saw the day before... But they were quite old, maybe a week. So back to camp to get supper ready!
We saw a bunch of Dall sheep on a mountain ridge, a few wolf on the hill side of the same mountain howling away every night and morning. Rock saw a bunch of horses(outfitter usually let them roam free in the winter time) but no bisons or fresh signs of them!!
It was a good trip but too short!
Robin , if there is to many pictures, let me know and I will clean it up....
