Fall is on it's way!

So we are winding things down. Fall is coming. The leaves are turning. It's getting cooler. We had a small reprieve of a few of the nicest days all summer, but not anymore! I'm very excited to see the leaves turn though, hopefully I will be able to get some nice pics of that. The work has been good though. Only a few more days left. 5 more sleeps to be precise!

The other day it was neat, we were walking and ran into a grizzly bear. It was the perfect situation though, he ran away and I managed to snap a picture. It was an amazing thing to see. He wasn't really big, but I'm glad I was with someone at the time.


The other neat thing (and less dangerous) that we got to see were some really big springs coming out of the side of a mountain. They were not warm but they weren't ice cold. We're still hoping to get to some really good hot springs before we leave. Here is a picture of me with the enormous mounds deposited by the springs themselves.


And of course, I have the obligatory shot of me looking like a dork with a set of caribou antlers. It was neat to find them both together!


Anyways, I should head to bed. I will be home on the 25th for good so I hope to see you all very soon.
