In the dark
In the dark
August 3, 2010 – 9:15 PM CDT
Well, not literally… but a contractor accidentally cut a line, leaving Ely and the surrounding area without telephone and Internet service for much of the day. This meant we were in the dark as far as the travels of the GPS-equipped bears, and we were unable to access emails, update the website, upload video, or post to Facebook. It meant we couldn’t post an update in a timely fashion or post the promised video.
In the field, we tracked down June a mile off the road and replaced her GPS batteries. In the office, we downloaded GPS locations until the cable incident.
Lily and Hope have moved further out into Lily’s territory and we assume all is well.
Still recovering from the wonderful picnic. Thank you for the nice canvas picture signed by 204 of the picnickers.
Thank you for all you do.
Looking forward to tomorrow and catching up with the bears.
