A ridge within site of YYC? Why rappel, you should just land beside it and walk in...after all,it''s all bald-arse flat prairie out there???

hey 407, it was an honest rappel on a ridge 5 miles east of Ghost............

coolhand, it's going. looking forward to fall. i just got out and will be home in a month or so. stop by for a coffee in september eh?

Hey 412 was wondering if that was you down in Pincher Cr the other day, with that Yellow and Black 212. I was one of the Green and White and Gold 212''s bucketing south of the gas plant. It was a nice brake to be bucketing, rather than falling of the west side of Mt.Victoria all day moving drills. Had a couple of new fires yersterday, Shell may shut us down till the hazard drops.Oh well back to fires..

Big Duke, moving drills in the Crowsnest in this heat must be a real treat....

I didn''t say I wanted you to change it, 412, but maybe YOU could want to change it.

Check out the 204 Down thread.

big duke,

yellow and black 212 yes but pincher no. i'm up in elbow. that was our other machine.....

DW, ok.

407driver. was that you at Elk Flats today? at that forestry exhibition doing the rescue demo?

407 Driver, Pincher Creek in this heat and this terrain have been incrediably challenging for all of our drivers. We have had a week of 30+c heat and 20-30 KTS winds every day. With density altitude's between 11,000 and 13,000 Ft. It's making life very interesting, especially working the lee side of the mountain.I'm still amazed at where they want these drills to go. It's like doing rescue work with a three thousand pound patient. You know it's bad when your looking foward to Hel-Skiing.

Hope all is well in Golden. 412 Driver my old man said he watched your demo with the RAP Crew. Said it was very impressive.Pass on a thankyou to your other driver in Pincher Cr, we sure appreicated the bucketing break.

Sorry for the ranting and raving it's been a long tour.
