Trip Date: January 2015
As some of you already know, we have been using wildlife cameras at my school for the past two and a half years. All of the best footage that we've captured over that span can be viewed on the
Wild About Base Camp blog. I even posted an article titled,
Wildlife Watch, on the
Calgary is Awesome website for a little more exposure. In early January my time at Base Camp officially came to an end. Before Christmas there was an unexpected opening at West View School in
Calgary and I had to jump on that opportunity. I am definitely going to miss being at camp, but am looking forward to what lies ahead. That being said, one of the things I'm going to miss most is discovering what's been passing through the bushes near camp. My wife, Christine, bought me a wildlife camera for Christmas, so I could still capture remote images of wild creatures! In the middle of January I headed out to the Devil's Gap area of the
Ghost Valley to install it.
I parked at the bottom of the Trans-Alta road and headed towards Devil's Gap with Rome, my hiking partner for the day. We hiked and explored until we found, what I hoped was, a suitable location for high wildlife traffic. I set-up the camera on a nearby tree, while Rome explored all the different smells close-by. Then I sat down and enjoyed my lunch before we worked our way back to the Jeep.
