Sorry for the long delay with the posts, I had to wait for something to happen and to get some sweet photos to share.
Things are going very well here at Blende camp. The camp is up and running smoothly. We have had a couple of pad builders in camp for about a week now building us some very rad drill pads (see the attached photos). The drillers are beginning to arrive and the drill will be in on June 11, so it should be spinning and producing core within a couple days or so.The snow was everywhere when we arrived in camp ten days ago. Now it is pretty much gone. On hot days we could almost watch the snow melt from the cirque above camp. The photo of the pad being built is the same slope as the snow covered ridge... just a few days later. We had fresh avalanches on that slope a couple of days after arriving into camp.
I included a photo of the camp for those that forgot what it looked like from last year.
All of the holes that we drill this year will be serviced by the helicopter that is in camp for June. The drill will be flown from pad to pad and crew changes will be done with the chopper, no road access this year.
Hopefully my next post will have some photos of sweet mineralized core for you to gaze at through cyberspace.Ciao for now,

Good stuff Mike! It's been raining on and off here in Mayo. Mel's mom and dad should be here in a few weeks, and Trev's mom will be here on Thursday. She'll be here for a month, so if you still have time off, please stop by!
Love Kerri

Hi, Melissa:
Sorry we didn't get to go canoeing on the "mighty" North Saskatchewan before you left.
Glad you both arrived safely. Have an awesom summer.
