VE6AB Mobile Ops
Headed Out....On foot that is.
After parking my mobile at the junction of highway 68 and the Powderface Trail located in Sibbald flats located in Kananaskis Country, I set out to explore the network of beaver dams and lodges located on Sibbald creek and shoot a few photos.
There are at least 4 Beaver lodges that I was able to count from where I'm parked in this photo, and in the past I always wanted to get closer to them, but during the summer months, the series of beaver dams on the creek back water up flooding most of the area making it difficult to get around without getting wet.
I thought this would be a good time to check them out, as everything is frozen hard allowing me to meander around with my camera and shoot a few pics while getting up close to the various beaver lodges located behind the various dams located there.
Still, I had to be careful around the dams proper, as there was open water, and the ice was not to be trusted when crossing from one side to the other.
While I meandered around, I was carrying my D72 and laid waypoints throughout the 2 hours I spent exploring the area.
I also had my mobile VE6AB-9 set to digipeat the beacons from my D72.
