.fly, Northward, fly.


I just got a job with Nechako reforestation, for a really long planting season starting in Prince George BC and ending in the Northern Alberta interior. I'll be planting until August, in fast land. In the meantime, I'm applying to other companies. My quandary with the current job is that
1) it is an expensive plane ride to northern BC
2) the camp costs ain't cheap.
But the treeprices are high (17 cents) and the season is long. And I've been longing for some (comparitively) chill BC planting. A new part of Canada, a new planting season, and one more thing on the great canadian to-do list checked off. Hopefully some sweet cash too. My mother and Father are rather unhappy. My Dad, exasperated, muttered into the phone "There are easier ways to make money." But there's something to be said for honest labour with no guilt about the nature of my job...and some major perks of being in one of the stranger, more unique jobs in existence.
