MOUNTAIN LIFE - Blue Mountains | Spring 2020

46 FEATURE As a magazine about outdoor recreation, we decided to take a slightly different tack this spring. We’re all outside for a leisurely bike or trail run—how about working under the weather, so to speak? We asked our writers to contribute their most memorable outdoor job anecdote, spotlighting the rugged, unpredictable, sweaty, sketchy, remote, punishing and rewarding aspects of the work. Whether our contributors worked on Georgian Bay or Danger Bay, swatted away bugs or preserved them for science, we got all of these aspects and much more. – Ed. Under the
