NSMBA Trail Day

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.

Ned’s Trail Day

Holy, lots of people showed up on a wet day to make mud. I, of course, was late due to a bit of a bender the night before. Lots of Keith’s IPA and Scotch.

Uhhhhhhhhh……

Here’s PD (background) and some guy building a berm into a stepdown just before the bridge across Enigma Ck.

A bit of paving I got into a wee bit further down.

..and that savage little dog of mine. She hardly bit anyone today. A little drainage work in the foreground there.
