We celebrated Easter this year at Log Cabin, a beautiful spot in northern BC just 100km down the road (Highway 2 or the South Klondike Highway) from us. It's a well-known spot for lots of reasons- blueberry picking in the summer, proximity to the north end of the Chilkoot Trail and other gold-rush spots like Bennett Lake, and alpine skiing (the kind without a chairlift!).

| There was a cross-country ski race here two weeks ago, and there were a few of their snow castles still standing |

| It's neat to come across old buildings in such a remote spot |

| Ahh, time to relax. Awesome present, Jenn! I joined Colin a few seconds later |

We did miss the family gatherings, but still had a great long weekend. There were two test calls on our new firefighter radio, which you can't tell are tests until a few seconds after the warning tone, until the person doing the test starts to speak. For a few seconds, one of us thought that we were going to get some volunteer firefighting experience this weekend! We spent some time doing spring cleaning, and doing more firefighting studying, for a Firefighter Advanced level training session we have on Wednesday at the Whitehorse airport fire station. At a location like that, you might think we were learning something exciting, like aviation emergencies, or mass evacuation strategies, but no, we're learning about sprinklers, detection systems and fire extinguishers.
Bye for now,
Love Lauren and Colin
