Since then, the week has been a whirlwind! I have been away from work so much that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and a bit behind - but at the same time, I am so excited to see my friend and family, that I can't help but wish to be with them instead. To help find the balance, I made them help me with work :-)
On site, we have herded muskox to bring a lot of the herd back together, we have moved a thin-horned Dall sheep so he is no longer alone, and we have stumbled across a brand spanking new baby muskox that was clearly JUST born. The boys got to get up close and personal with the moose and caribou and great photo ops with pretty much everything on site. Good contributors that Jeff and Mike.
Off site, they were able to see downtown Whitehorse, shop, check out the Beringia, the brewery and we made a field trip to Skagway, Alaska for site-seeing and
supper. What a week! AND..... as if that wasn't enough, we finally found someplace to live! The Prochazka's move into a suite in Riverdale (the community across the river from downtown Whitehorse) on May 15. We have living space on the ground floor and sleeping space partially underground. Our landlady, Sarah, is very, very lovely and she lives upstairs with her two daughters and their dog. We are VERY excited! A very special thanks to Sarah, Maria, Randy, Steve, Clare and of course Jeff, who helped us move our stuff in on Tuesday. Not having to unload and then move again our stuff FANTASTIC. Seriously. We are so lucky that wherever we go there seems to be no shortage of amazing people offering to help us!!
I love the Preserve, and I am so glad that I have been able to stay here both for practical reasons and for my ability to immerse myself into my new job. I do, however, very much look forward to moving from an extended work trip to creating home.
