AUTUMN DITCH DIVING

A little band of intrepid ditch-divers took to the edges of the Pat Bay Highway last Saturday, making our second round of keeping the "Beautiful" in "Beautiful BC" for 2007. The merry band included our fearless Ditch Director, Lloyd Kruger and a motley assortment of armed and dangerous Rotarians: Charlie Long, Meredith Reeve, Jinny Hambly, Pat Bonser, Peter Guerra, Lianne Macdonald, Hein Moes, and Bruce and Marg Burns.

We found car parts, bicycle wheels, car tires, kitchen chairs, realtor signs, lots of fast food detritus, coffee cups, pop bottles and beer cans (including one immense, economy-sized beer bottle, complete with rubber stopper), and Lianne's least favourite finds—snakes. Dead and alive. To quote Lianne:

"The first four were small and living and squirmy...YUK! The last one was actually dead but it was big and fat and by the time I came across that one I was ready to shed my own skin!"

See the fun you're missing??? Why not join us for the next outing...probably in the Spring. It'll be a great way to warm up to your summer tan — if the weather is as nice then as it was last Saturday.
