Sitting in a sparkling blue Bell-407, earmuffs over our heads, microphones at our mouths, hands wrapped tightly around our printed photographs, maps and GPS, peering down at the mountain peeks below – it is hard to believe this constitutes our daily work! Even though we have settled into a groove over the past week, this adventure never seizes to amaze us. For this, and for all of the support that we receive every day, we are extremely grateful.

Speaking of communications, we have all become quite accustomed to constant radio check-ins, helicopter call signs and the phonetic alphabet, which I was found guilty of reciting during my sleep on one occasion. “Roger that”, “How on that” and “Wilco” are now part of our everyday vocabulary.

And if that was not enough action for one day, it was topped off with an encounter with big-horn sheep and a refreshing team swim in Barrier Lake.
Pictures are great! All of you look amazing! I am thrilled that you are enjoying yourselves and learning so much and still able to help others.
I am working on my back and leg Kris!!!! Getting much stronger and my muscles are returning.
