You Know You're in BC....

When part of the May Day Weekend is devoted to "Logger Sports".

I usually stay far away from weekends like this, but Catherine wanted to support the local volunteer fire department by buying me a burger and a beer for lunch. That made seeing some of the logger sports pretty much inevitable!

During our wait in the lineup for the burgers we were treated to tree climbing (y'know - spurs, rope, a tall pole...tree) and how fast contestants could cut off the end of a log with their chainsaw. I gather there were others - axe target throwing, tree felling, log carving, log rolling....

Yup - a very definite skill set needed when you live in the forests of BC....!
