North Shore Trail Day!

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Our last trail day for the NSMBA. It’s a little bit sad, really. Ahhh…..maybe we’ll throw down on another some time. They are really fun events.

They also wouldn’t be possible without sponsors. Kelly Smith is the owner of the new IGA down on Esplanade, and he’s a great guy. Look at all that food.

We also need lots of help on the trail, and although we didn’t get the HUGE turnout like last time, we still had 55 motivated diggers show up.

I think that with the Rat Race on the Sunshine Coast, the Vancouver Marathon wrecking traffic, and a bit of rain it was still a great turnout. That rain made it great to see how to cut the drainage.

Oh look….girls. Awwwww, they’re hikers. Oh well, they’re in some pretty short shorts.

Franco likes them like that.

OK Franco. Back to work.

You too, Dieter.

As always, Barb made a great lunch of drunken salmon burgers, and no trail day is complete without Karen’s delicious cookies or Brewhaha’s cold brewskis.

Thanks to everyone that came out, and if you didn’t make it, there’s still 5 more chances to give back to the Shore.


Boogieman Trail Day Part 3

Monday, March 26th, 2007

You just gotta check out Doug Chinnery”s Trail Day Observations.
Doug did an unbelievable job on the write up covering the Trail Day event. So good, that I definitely can’t top it. There’s no point even trying. I don’t have the required talent in that area……however, I can make it up in BBQ marinated Salmon apparently!

Enjoy!
And thanks to all the droves of volunteeers for coming out!
Huge thanks for all the donated supplies from the local businesses……couldn’t have done it without your support….

See ya’ll again in May!

Cheers,
B
