So, around Nelson and waiting for snow to melt. Should have packed some books. The nights, especially between 8 pm -8 - am are long, dark, cold, but not tired, and no book to read. And up early, too early, too cold to go out, a book would be some small company. There's no radio, no wifi, no nothing up there, which is why it's so promising, a couple of long claims on Goldstream, Carnes Creek, and about 70 km in between.
Make use of my time to gather supplies and prepare...
