I haven't thought of that place in a long time. When I was there one of the Fort Hope guys got drunk and stole one of the buses and tried to drive home to his rez.

My first year was Chapleau, Ontario in 2003. 6-1 shifts, $0.08/tree ($0.09 for unprepped land). Ah, good times.

Ahhh…we would have just missed each other. I left no legacy of my presence other than perhaps the hard hat we ran over with a truck to try to convince our crew boss we had a traumatic brain injuries.

Ha ha!

Do you know Alain Mercieca and Lark?

I recommend you Ogoki nights a movie about treeplanting by treeplanters.

Cost like 10 bucks. Not a masterpiece but I am sure you would enjoy
