We had a great opening night in Banff yesterday for the Sacred Headwaters, Sacred Journey and Great Bear Rainforest exhibits. The previous night, Wade Davis moved a sold-out crowd with his talk on the Sacred Headwaters.

The exhibits will be on display in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed building at the Banff Centre until December.

Tents torn apart. Poles snapped. Foot-and-a-half-long stakes ripped out of the ground. I have no idea how fast the wind was to do all this, but 3,000 ft below me it was knocking trees down across the highway. Todagin is known for its wind, but not like this. Some pilots wouldn’t fly in it, but luckily one helicopter pilot was nearby and able to pick me up. When he landed, he actually held the nose down to keep the wind from tipping the helicopter back on its tail.

All this to say that a storm has cut this leg of the fieldwork short. It was the second time this year that the tents were completely destroyed, and it would be serious trouble should this happen in the middle of a -15C night. So I’ve decided to pull everything off the mountain until I can find a solution for the wind.

Time to dry out…
