Freezing in Sikkani

Well I finished up the consulting work in AB for awhile, came back to Northern BC and did a job with a Sno-cat to freeze in an access road.

First day outI got about 3 hours into it and then the pump blew, or at least thats what I think happened, the machine is still dead on the line waiting for the mechanics to get up there and figure things out.

Next day (Saturday) they had another one hauled up and I got back to work. The work entails clearing the accumulated snow from the trail so it will freeze up and be strong enough to hold up to heavy traffic. The oil company wants to get in there and complete the well to see what they have.

The Alaska Highway up to Mile 153 was especially bad and even though it was only 200kms back to town I elected to stay at the Buckinghorse Industrial Camp. And what a camp it was....I haven't stayed in a camp in over 15 years, boy have they changed. Single occupancy rooms with satellite TV, rec room with pool table and other goodies, and the kitchen was almost like eating at a buffet in town. Great assortment set out for bag lunches in the morning....all in all pretty good.....

did a video of the work...hope you enjoy.
