Gabriola trailmarkerI’ve mentioned the odd trailmarkers in the Gabriola woods before — here’s an other example.

Having strange things left in the forest helps a lot when I’m chatting with my hiking friend, and trying to tell her where I saw a colourful mushroom or something. I can say well, suppose you start at the washing machine and then go down to the place where the blades are sticking out of the tree…. Saves much map-drawing.
