The snow keeps melting, and Justin keeps cutting. This winter just keeps on giving.
The bears don’t seem to mind. Here’s a black bear track, but we’re reasonably sure that we’ve seen a grizzly cub running around.

Powers Creek Clean Up Day
Something I’ve wanted to do for a while is clean up the crap that all the rednecks leave behind after the winter at the trail head. Which is xactly what we got up to here. Well, Rich doesn’t look quite like he’s gotten up yet, but you know what I mean…..
Dave got a new microwave.
I like this one. “Environmentally friendly lawn care…” Like you couldn’t dispose of it in like fashion. You know, if you’re gonna have a grow-op, no-one is going to catch you by hanging out at the dump. They figured it out when you bought all that fertilizer at the local head shop.
There were also a few trees down that needed clearing. This one in particular….
So there you go. 4 tons of crap in just over an hour.
Of course, we had to celebrate our efforts with some laps. Justin seemed pretty stoked on the results.
A few other random locals showed up as well.
That was just a warmup for the main event. May 25th up at Gillard we’re doing the BIG CLEANUP. See you there…..
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.
