Poker Rally

After weeks of slashing down trees and organizing and moving the date of the event back...it finallly happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darlene van Wyk and her crew, consisiting mainly of Bruce (Muzzy) Muzichuk and Kent Bridger had the trail in great shape. The hours these people donated is unmeasurable and the appreciation warranted them beyond and above. The spring melt has been upon us and there was much worry that the event might not be held. But....last night the skies opened and dumped over a foot of snow upon us....and continued to snow, it is still snowing as I write. Here are the pics I took today while out as a participant.....I had a great time and I had just as great a time at the dance afterwards.....many thanks to all that took a hand in getting 'er done.... Darlene take a bow because without your tireless effort this would never have happened.

Last check in point.....with Elvie and Lisa W. handling the cards in the pick up.

Aime ..... who even after cracking up his lower leg quite badly after helping with the trail, still was making it out to the pitstops :o
