Jay and I went to the Shediac Bay Ski Swap yesterday. Left Fredericton around 9am. Good drive on the new 4 lane TCH. Slow down for the new train tracks near Moncton. They've recently been built up and could use a bump sign! Set up the Crabbe Mountain booth by 11:30am and the doors for the Ski Swap opened at 12 noon. Lots of excited skiers and snowboarders through the doors. Things wrapped up later that afternoon. We packed things up and got back on the THC.
On the way, Jay noticed a call on his cell from our good friend Johnny McNair who recently opened "Outdoor Elements" in Sussex. An outdoor store specializing in skis, snowboards, mountain bikes and everything in between. So we took the Sussex/Saint John exit and made it to Outdoor Elements for 4:30pm. Johnny met us at the door, our buddy Cole was even there working at the shop. We locked up the shop at 5 and the four of us headed next door to a little restaurant for supper and to catch up. Got to try some Pepperoni Nachos, they were pretty good! After a few hours with good company we were on our way back to Fredericton.
Temps this week are looking chilly. Can't wait! - SB
