My outing today was of the social variety, rather than research, but it was great to get out and be with other local researchers, after almost a year and a half of varying levels of restrictions on gatherings. We met at a small park in the mountains near Chilliwack, B.C. at about noon, and spent the whole afternoon enjoying good food and catching up on our efforts over the last year. The weather was perfect, with the heat wave moderating and the fire smoke easing for the day due to a refreshing breeze through the old cedars that shaded us.
Besides myself, other BFF members there included MagniAesir, Grandcherokee, and Thomas Steenburg, as well as a few interested parties who are not on BFF. One of those is Darcy, who has been working on a full size Sasquatch sculpture in styrofoam, which got knocked over by a curious young lad of about 6 or 7, but only suffered minor damage.
