And then it snowed.

Week One
Strange as it may seem, this is actually a hospitality business.
La Fin
By the time I post this, I believe we (I) will be done. Some of the planters are going back to the farm, but not enough to warrant a full-time cook. I’ve started looking at maps to plot my way home, and I’m looking forward to having a house, with a toilet, my own bedContinue reading “La Fin”
Fall
The leaves are changing to their fall colors, and we saw a full Harvest Moon illuminate the night sky. The moon was so very bright that she cast very distinct shadows. When I awoke to her glory, I couldn’t even see the constellations. The days continue to be warm, even hot with a lot ofContinue reading “Fall”
The Middle Of Nowhere
To get to our next camp, it was decided that we should caravan. In the past, trucks got lost along the way and ended up arriving after camp set-up. I suspect that was part of the rationale for the cravan. That, and the fact that we really are in the middle of nowhere. North ofContinue reading “The Middle Of Nowhere”

Days off became marathons of driving to other towns to do laundry and then do the shopping as well. The move to our next camp wasContinue reading “Blackville”

Had I been in a place where I could respond to the hacking right away, I don’t think it would have been so bad. Ultimately, I lost ten plus yearsContinue reading “The Aftermath”
Camp Move #2 – Plaster Rock
Working for a tree planting camp has led to an exploration of New Brunswick. We moved from the small town of Juniper to a site on private woodlands near Plaster Rock. The journey was quite an adventure. I relied on Google Maps to get to the new location. The app must know I have aContinue reading “Camp Move #2 – Plaster Rock”
Bush Camp
Tree Planting Camps move according to where the trees need to be. We relocated to our first Bush Camp a coupla weeks ago. A change of scenery is not a bad thing, but it was a stark change to say the least. We moved from the farm, where we camped in a lovely grassy orchardContinue reading “Bush Camp”
The Food
Keeping the planters fed is more than just putting food out.
