Dakota Update for Dan and The Shell Oil Rig

Hi Everyone! Little Tied up today with Hotel and other commitments but Just wanted to check in. First of all a Dakota update for Dan hiking in the Swiss Alps. As you can see above she is just fine and having alot of fun wrestling for driftwood and getting lots of walks.

In other news the Shell explotitary drill rig was brought into Captains Bay yesterday for mooring.






All of the Shell Oil folks have been so Wonderful during their entire stay. The amount of training they are having everyone do, and their utter professionalism is a testament to the true nature of "Big Oil". They are not the evil money grubbing villians the politicians try to make them out to be. Really great people doing their best to provide energy for this Country. I'd rather deal with them than any politican from Washington DC.










Anyway, Off for now, I'll try to post more this week as the hotel slows down a bit..........

Bunker Hill with a Boy From Maine and Salmonberries: Bella, Wine and Injuries

Hotel SUPER BUSY!! Full to Bursting. Literally People sleeping in the Lobby. That's how my week is going. How about yours?
Still have to fit in time with Friends now and Old and Bunker Hill is always the place to go.







Are YOU brave enough to enter this Rabbit Hole? Mad Hatters or Red Queens could be awaiting inside.

















At time the weather has been Beautiful, and Perfect for Salmonberry picking!
That is if Bella leaves us any.
Bella literally eats the berrries right off the bushes, she will jump up and get them if they are not low enough. The Only way to stop her is to lure her away with a "Beggin Strip" or a "Chicken Carver"
And A curious find in the Bushes, an bottle of Chardonnay.
It was SEALED!!!! REALLY!!! I CHECKED BEFORE DRINKING IT NO MATTER WHAT SOMEONE SAYS!!!
Although drinking it on an empty stomach may have led to an "Incident" later.....
But I still managed to save the Berries. That is what matters!!

And SIX buckets full. And enough really ripe berries to make even Sharon Proud!

Ok, Off to pick more berries!
