I have lived for more than 30 years as a Wilderness Dweller. Most of that time was in cabins I built myself far from the nearest road, high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My "retirement" home is accessible by a bush road but still far from neighbours. I live off the grid, and operate this blog by solar-powered satellite internet.

Mud Season

The snow is suddenly going from exposed places, but we are having nothing but storms.

Finger Peak on the ChilcotinThis morning it snowed an inch again.

April snow at Ginty Creek

The wind has been wild, so even when the sun shines it is too cold to sit on my mini deck.  It is difficult to walk anywhere unless it has been a cold night.  It still goes down to -9C sometimes.  But a couple of hours after daylight the snow is too rotten to walk in and the earth is mud.
