Empress Reroute

Sharon · 01-08-2003, 08:12 PM

This is a heads up to let you know that the lower part of Empress will be cleared for new houses in March 2003.

A new trail will be built with a planned completion during the summer. The new trail will not be open until a bridge is constructed over Taylor Creek.

The NSMBA will be having extra trail days to build this trail. People will be notified when these days occur if you wish to help out.

Thanks!
Sharon.

what a sad day. so when you say lower half your taking below the rock faces.

corey@nsmb.com · 01-08-2003, 11:47 PM

Yeah, how far below the last rock face are we talking about? That is too bad, its a fun trail. Though I am sure the new one will be cool too.

.. A golden opportunity to construct a creek gap like the one on the BC Cup course at Sun Peaks!!

I think the last rock face is still part of the trail. Right after that will be someone's back yard. So the small drops just after the last rock face are gone.

Rat -you should look into buying the lot so we can put a hot tub in the back and watch ppl bail off the rocks

Its always been a dream of mine to have a house on the shore where I could build an A frame over the fence into my back yard.

I hope I win the lotto

If I am not working you know I am there, we are "supposedly" cutting back on overtime....LOL I'll believe that when it actually happens.
