8:30- have to pee and will now quietly hold it until later when I find a ladies room.
9:04- the fog lifts and blue skies emerge!!! 3 places measured so far... Daniel has his first sandwich.
9:37- Lola and I spot some moose tracks and decide to follow them. with her orange hunting vest on I'm not very worried about her getting mistaken for a moose!
10:28- this place reeks of Christmas!! in my head I sing a few verses of "Santa clause is coming to town"
11:00 more food
12:03 lola's found a grasshopper to torment.
12:06- seriously, can someone crack open a window here? this green tree smell is a little much. someone needs to lay off the glade spray or whatever...
these are what we are measuring.
the measurer...
the helper?
12:23- I still have to pee.
this place is very quiet- kinda a shame for the animals crashing around in the forest- oh wait, that's us!!! ( we're not very popular with the hunters today...)
I'm seeing tons of fungus and wondering what my friend Amanda would think to make with them if they're edible.
At the end of the day, we started and stopped too many times to count, Lola inspected leaf by leaf quite a few kilometres of forest and showed us that she really can listen, when she wants to with no hotdog bribery needed and I got to spend some time in nature without all the pesky bug that make it impossible for me to enjoy otherwise and it was great.
we slept well and early last night after all the christmas tree freshness of the day and even though Lola managed to fall out of her doggie bed on the chair in our bedroom, she wasn't bothered all that much as she just jumped up on ours - a luxury she's never allowed at home - and she went right back to sleep.
up next: the history and present state of a near-by fort that we visited on Sunday on the way home.
