Last day of field work

Well, today was my last day of field work :( We might go out one day next week, but highly unlikely...
To sum up what I have been at in town is quite simple: paddling the Yellowknife River. Glen and I started heading out pretty much everyday week day after we got back from Jean Marie River in June. The weather was unbelievable, some days reaching 30c! The goal for this project was to ideally find coney fish bones, and pre-contact sites. Both big hopes - coneys havent been in the river since the 60s and the river is so constantly used that any possible sites would be highly disturbed.
We checked out around the mouth of the river, denadda. Some old prospecting shacks and a pile of old cores. We paddled up river from the bridge, denadda. A huge permafrost slump where you can see the ice melting out! The ground was crumbling from beneath us... and Glen stepped in the soft wet till which had morphed into quick sand! Crazy!
We finally had success at Tartan Rapids, we would paddle over from Cassidy point and just wander around. Everything there were surface finds, whereas we had spent the first few weeks digging deep, deep test pits.
At one place Glen found five flakes on the ground and managed to put them back together again and recreated a hide softener! Pretty much the highlight of the work out there.
Today, our last day, was spent hiking. We followed a trail overland to the river from the highway. Super awesome trail that I will be bringing Corona to. Nice and high above the lake. There was a wonderful breeze which meant ZERO bugs. Just an all around great finish to the field season. I even found a lithic scatter there!
Too bad I cannot continue on with Glen in September :(
