In the morning, on the last day of March, Margarit packed up and headed back to the city with Hank. A couple of hours later, Shawn and Lisa packed up and headed home as well. I stayed on at the cottage by myself. It was cold in the morning, but by lunch time the sun started to break out, and it warmed up a bit. It did not get nearly as warm as the day before, but did make it up to about +4 in the mid afternoon.
I decided it would be a good day to tour the historic mine site, as the weather was forecast to get worse in the coming days. I arranged permission with the County staff and then went in on a short tour.
The snow was still fairly deep in places in the sheltered confines of the site. A saw a bunch of relatively fresh tracks along the way in... rabbit, deer, squirrel, grouse and a coyote. I didn't see any actual wildlife, other than a whiskeyjack that hung close by me most of the afternoon. There was no sign of any bears waking up from their nap, and there were no wild horses around.
I wandered about for three of four hours and shot a bunch of film with my view camera. It was nice to get out again and do some shooting, and this was the first time I packed my gear for any distance, since breaking my leg. It all went pretty well, and I'll think I'll come out of it with a couple of decent negatives.
