Pampered

Last night was spa night here at camp. Since (and this is very rare) the ladies outnumbered the fellas, we decided that we would have an evening of pampering after all the harrowing trials of the field. There were foot baths and face masks and hair treatments and massages and haircuts. I thought it was going to be kind of silly, but it ended up being really fun. A woman from the Arctic Star camp about 35km away even flew in for a sleepover- the poor girl is the only female in her camp. I will try and load some pictures tomorrow.

Field work was rather smooth today, other than the persistent smoke. Forest fire smoke from Saskatchewan drifts up here and just sits, since there is no topography to block it along the way. Very hard on the lungs after 8 hours.

I promise to write more fun things tomorrow, but I am beat and want to go to bed early for once. Cheers.
