i went out to Cartier slough to do amphibian surveys with rusty this morning but it was too windy and cold, we didn't find anything. i wanted to work with jo the rest of the day, but ended up just fixing fence out in the wind. At least i had the dogs around for somebody to talk to, sometimes it gets lonely working completely alone miles away from anyone. i saw a huge porcupine though, it was kind of intense keeping the dogs away from him. i also saw three white tail does. As i fight through the brush, i'm getting pretty good at gathering small branches, leaves, bugs, and who knows what else, in my dreds.
