I was back up to Wood Buffalo National Park to finally install the equipment at our new site. It was a long week, left on the Sunday and back the following Saturday. A view out of the Jetstream 32 aircraft from Edmonton to Fort Smith.

It can hold 19 passengers, but rarely is it completely full.

The Slave River.

The Welcome Sign outside the airport.

We had good weather for most of the days. In the past the bison I have seen have usually been by themselves. this time we came across herds while driving to the site.

There had to be at least 40 bison on both sides of the highway.

The sunset as we left the site the first day.

We came across the same herd the next morning, this guy was walking along the road as we drove by, we were close enough we could have slapped it on the ass as we drove by.

We also saw this wolf, we saw a fox and lots of black bears during the week.

The herd, it was an amazing site to see so many, they walk on both sides of the highway as well as the road.

We woke up to snow on the Wednesday morning, there was enough to brush off, but it only fell near town as the site didn’t have any snow when we got there, however there was some freezing rain for part of the morning.

Looking west along highway 3.

On the last day I was heading back into town and saw this guy up ahead walking down the middle of the road.

As I slowed down, he wasn’t getting off the road for me. I came to a stop and waited for him to meander over to the shoulder eventually.

Looking over the town and the Slave River.
