With just over 7 weeks until Knight Inlet Lodge opens things are really starting to happen! The first fuel barge of the year has been arranged, boats, lumber, supplies have been delivered to the barge facility for shipping and the first staff are at the lodge working on our fisheries project. Interviews for the remaining staff positions are ongoing with an eye towards having the last of the staff in place by the end of this week.
One of the things I enjoy the most about my job with Knight Inlet Lodge is all the interesting people that I get to meet. Now I say meet but what I really mean is correspond with as very rarely do I get to meet them face to face.
This story and pictures are compliments of Mike and June, guests in mid August of 2009. They are returning for a second visit in September of 2010.
The bird in the first picture was on the back of the mum and annoying her, each time she made it move, it just flew straight back, pecking at her.
