Living conditions you can expect when you are staying on a farm

Here it is folks. a few shots of the farm that I was working on. The pay is good but the living conditions suck. Note the shower on the picture of the trailer and porta-potti, it's the large white PVC pipe contraption.

Some Back Country Pictures

Kelowna on Fire

Exciting last couple of days. A forest fire started on Terrace Mountain and within a couple of hours the fire was over 18000 acres. Good thing we were a couple of miles away but as some of you may know, forest fires can spread rapidly. So, remember when you are in the back country please make sure you extinguish your camp fire and make sure your cigarettes are not just thrown out. Some idiot started this fire due to carelessness and has put over 2500 people out of their homes.

Still Picking Cherries

Great way to earn a little cash while you are on the road. I'm in Kelowna British Columbia at the moment and I have managed to make $1000 for 3 days of work. We generally keep our expenses down to a minimum, around $15 / day (I am a smoker and tobacco is quite expensive here). I have bacon and eggs for breakfast, a couple of sandwiches for lunch and for dinner we decided to have sirloin steak that only costs $3 with potatoes and broccoli. The farmer allows us to stay on the farm for free and provides a shower and toilette facilities. We have some workers from Quebec, Brazil, Columbia, India and an American Indian named Cliff. All around we are having a great time sharing stories of our travels, working hard and sharing great camping and travel locations. Unfortunatly we are limited with internet connections since we are 60 miles away from the nearest internet connection. I will be picking cherries till the end of August and then apples will start for the months of September and October, after which I will be heading for Arizona where the winters are warm and sunny.
