Shooting Film in a Digital Age

The Quarryville Library recently had a photo contest which reportedly received an unexpectedly low amount of entries. Due to timing issues I was unable to submit my Lancaster County related image, however, above is the image that I was going to enter. I shot this picture of a field about 3 miles south of Green Tree on 896 using a $40 camera with a plastic lens on film. To find out more about the Holga (the previously named camera), see the lomography site (http://microsites.lomography.com/holga/) and wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holga).

Spring Cleaning

The spring digging has officially begun on the east coast and we have been no exception. A bit of work has gone down over the past week which has resulted in the start of a new line and the consequential rerouting of another line. Steve has definitely been putting in the most work. I will hopefully get a few pics up here soon...

2010

Well the 2010 trail season is wrapping up with Fall digging beginning and only a few more (if any) sessions left before the ground freezes. While not being as productive as it maybe could have been, our first year at this new spot saw the creation of a good solid 10 pack, the start of a branch-off line, and some other bumps scattered throughout the woods.

Location wise, the spot has existed without too much of a hitch but it is yet to been seen how the winter affects that. If we do last the winter into next spring, good things should be a-coming. With the work that is currently going in at Pitney (night digging?!) it may not be too bold to say that 2011 will be a good year for trails in Lancaster County. We will definitely be looking to have more people out next season so look for a jam or two to happen next summer. We are also going to look to get a contest going at the Quarryville skatepark in the Spring of next year to try to raise some funds for some additional ramps. More on that if SECA is cooperative...

End of Season?

Fifth

A few pics from yesterdays riding. Despite continued dampness from the rain a couple weeks ago the trails are in the best shape they have been in all year. All five in the main line are rolling with a berm on the way. Come on out this Sunday for a little jam; nothing big or special, we are just going to be out enjoying one of the last sessions before winter sets in.

Five Jump Jam

Finally, after much delay and a few rebuilds due to the rain, we have completed downside number five and have a complete ten pack. The fifth double has not been hit yet as it is still 'curing' but I suspect that it may have a few takers this weekend. In light of this, we are rescheduling the jam that we had planned to have to Sunday October 31.
