The snow is melting fast (and nearly gone) in Dease Lake (elevation 800m). Overnight lows are starting to stay above freezing. Schaft Creek camp is at about 860m elevation. I think things are looking very favourable to start up camp sometime mid- May if not sooner.

Plan

Elmer seemed to be evasive in his reply to Webgogs regarding a 2012 drilling plan. Unless a deal is in the works to make any plans mute, I hope that we get a thorough outline of this seasons' drilling at Schaft (# of drills, drilling targets, number of planned metres, and maybe some planned depths).
