getting dark
so the days are getting shorter every day. when i wake up the sun is out, but just last week we were able to go out for walks till 930 and it was kinda light out , now its 830 , and by 9 its completly dark.
it kinda sucks as i like to go for a walk or something after work , but its too dark. oh well.
to find out i sleep great at camp, one its pretty quiet and two i guess im tired be cause i work every day. I have made it to the two week mark, how much longer im not sure but till october probably, its ok after this ill be done for the season and can relax with my little family on the river..
they are going to have a winter program here , and it looks like ill be returning, so i maybe coming back in febuary ish. and would be one of the first to enter the camp. via ice roads by truck. would be pretty cool i think , until i found out its 12-14 hour trip, and would be doing it in one day. still exciting none the less. but that is far away and only a posibility.
so another one done , and maybe 30 more or less to go.

days are going fast
so i am finding my days are going really quick, and thats a good thing for sure. I am having fun but it is still work. I have been here for 11 days now, and not sure when i leave yet. they are talking that oct 11 maybe the last day, so im not sure if ill be staying to that date or ill be sent home. october 5th would be the 6 week mark and technically they have to send me out of camp even if its just for a night, so maybe they will sendf me to yellow knife for a weekend or something.
The head guy of the geology company is coming this week , so i guess he will say when the camp stays open and for how long. i guess there is three vips getting flown or helicoptered in.
last week we had a lot of day visitors aswell to see how the camp and operation.
just more mouths to feed for me.
have been seeing some pretty cool northern lights, its a foggy night tonight but i hope to get some pictures and post them soon.
so for tonight have a good night.
