We headed out again, but not without taking additional precautions. We stocked up on bear spray and established communication guidelines via Radio. The visitors from Environment Canada departed today on an early service flight back to Trenton. They were lucky, because the usual Wednesday flight was pushed back 24 hrs.
I had company on the way to the lab, because it is still too dangerous to go out alone. Sampling went well and back at the lab I started running the SPME air samples and some snow samples as well. It was a long evening – I finished well after midnight, but the bar was still open and I followed an invitation to celebrate my birthday on early May 30 with a few drinks – nice, so at least staying up late paid off in the end.
