Those are unbelievable. The color of the lake is wonderful! Your mom has a great smile! Were you scared at all on the bridge? I would have been scared, but I would have liked crossing it anyway. That's amazing that the fire wasn't put out until the following year, but look at all that new life! very cool. Glad I saw this thread!

Not really scared, but I was glad there was just the two of us on it! No extra shaking and we could take our time!

The Fox Lake Fire was a crown fire originally, which is why it was out of control for so long. Crown fires can jump quite a distance. Then it settled into the root system and burned underground over the winter. The firefighters dug out the still burning parts the next spring.

I work at an Oil and Gas Trust company in Calgary, Canada, in the Operations Department. I can say that drilling is a fairly safe thing in Canada, there are so many regulations and rules that accidents are few and far between. So as long a Stuart has his wits about him and is with a good crew I have every confidence that he will be just fine, tired and dirty, but fine. I'd be curious to know what rig he ends up with as we are doing work in northern BC.
