the mice are invading as of late! war is on, peanut butter bait has been place and the traps are ready to snap! we have caught a few but im sure their are many more. 

In other news, we, as staff, recently went on a weekend hike to Cliff's little cabin in the woods. if you don't know, cliff is the big Boss man here at the edge. this trip was definitely one of epic proportions. we basically drove out to pembina valley until the long and empty farm road we were on decided it would end, put on surrels, lots of clothes and our big packs loaded with sleeping gear and food. then we ventured off into the great white unknown in knee deep snow, windchill factor probably being -40. well actually we walked for about an hour and a half across some farm fields, and cliff knew exactly where he was going. when we arrived we found his cabin to be a small bunkhouse with 4 beds and wood stove. it was everything we needed. at this point it was already late in the evening so we unpacked, snacked a bit and enjoyed each others company. the next morning we went for a hike, wrestled in the snow, restocked the fire wood for the next visit, shot some cans with cliffs shotgun, and bonded over Gods glorious creation. 

Genesis 1:20:21 And God said, let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. and God saw that it was good.
