Trip Description

UPDATE: Province confirmed that their shutdown crew is not yet on strike, as such they will remove the tent and antenna. No longer any need for this trip.

The Watersprite Lake provincial recreation site is jointly managed by the BCMC and the government's "rec site and trails" branch - who are currently on strike. As such, Rec Sites and Trails staff will not be assisting the BCMC with the rec site shutdown this year.   The club is looking for 2 members who can make trip to Watersprite on Sunday morning with me, with a return Monday afternoon.  

The purpose of the trip is to take down a large tent and associated camping equipment (table, chairs stove, cots), and radio antenna and pack them away under the Watersprite Hut for the winter.   There is also a large steel "Job Site storage box" that needs to be emptied and moved to a safe spot for winter storage.  If it wasn't for the strike, this work be completed by the province, with the equipment flown out and stored at a provincial government storage facility.    Accommodation  for participants is in the custodian room at the Watersprite Hut.  Carpooling from Vancouver. If you're not eating turkey on Sunday, and feel like doing a bit of volunteer work for the club, this is great opportunity.
