Claw Hands

One particularly un-springish Sunday, five brave souls embarked on a mission of restoration in their community. Intrigued? Keep reading.

The city of Prince George staged a spring city clean up where the municipal powers provided motivated citizens with bags and gloves to clean up their neighbourhoods, streets, parks and any other area one might find litter. Laziness on the city's part, you might assume, but no, this was an event meant to allow its residents to participate and contribute to the beautification and amelioration of their surroundings. So, five of us Stackers ventured out on a sunny yet frigid day to clean up a park near Carney Hill Elementary.

If you look hard enough, you can see Ben in the far off distance working around the players' bench, learning the difference between a syringe and a vial.

Travis and Amy scouring the ground...

London Drugs' high-security secret cart storage. Not very secure looking, you might be thinking. Wrong-o. That is ice they are sitting in, and they weren't going anywhere until summer.

The bounty of my own treasure hunt. Part of an exhaust system and a potential murder weapon. It was so great of a find it was too good to be picked up for garbage apparently.

It was a great morning, though I think it took about 3 days for feeling to come back into my fingers. However I think we can all agree the result was well worth having claw hands for a few days.

Thanks for the Earth Day contribution Sarah.
