A friend of mine is a Forest Officer up there...that means he got to spend lots and lots of time in that place! And I was a very happy camper. What a great end to a great summer!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33392646-115743585225860492?l=athabascadunes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02623621526275038401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33392646.post-1156737801284700092006-08-27T20:56:00.000-07:002006-08-27T21:03:21.293-07:00<div align="justify"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20023.2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20023.2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20013.4.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20013.4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20025.5.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20025.5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />So...I'm a berry-picker, as some of you may already know. And Jan and I came across this amazing patch of plump and juicy blues! See how happy I am?! I tried to bring a whole load of them back with me, but they got pulverized on the trip back....I even froze them the night before ( in our propane-powered freezer), but that didn't work either. And NO, I didn't paint that bruise on my leg with blueberry juice...</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33392646-115673780128470009?l=athabascadunes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02623621526275038401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33392646.post-1156620721459377202006-08-26T12:13:00.000-07:002006-08-26T12:32:01.470-07:00<div align="left"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20058.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20058.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a "nice" version of what careless riding on a quad can do....don't do this at home!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20070.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20070.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20045.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20045.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20067.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20067.jpg" border="0" /></a> A "horny" moose responding to the moose calls...looking for a pretty cow to mate with...hahaha ( he was a wee bit confused!)<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20004.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20004.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20034.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20034.0.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here it is...my heart wide open! The sunset is actually not taken in the backcountry, but rather at Anzac beach. The footprints are really the only thing you see in the sand at the dunes. These ones are of a Timber Wolf. Others include the Sandhill Crane and types of Weasles.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20003.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20003.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20049.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20049.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20054.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20054.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20035.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/320/Backcountry%20035.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/1600/Backcountry%20012.1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 437px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 418px" height="400" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3536/3236/400/Backcountry%20012.0.jpg" width="634" border="0" /></a> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33392646-115662072145937720?l=athabascadunes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02623621526275038401noreply@blogger.com1
