See....he does exist.

   We had the pleasure of dinner with groomer last night.

     Besides being a great photographer, he is a wealth of information and gentleman.

    Thanx for all you do, Jeff and Sandy

Hi JG, was up your way the week of Feb. 19th and your trails where excellent as usual, thanks for all your hard work. I noticed that you have a bit more traffic this year because of the poor (no snow) snow conditions down south here in lower NB and NS and other places as well which makes your job all the more demanding, so thanks again and I hope to come back for one more ride before it's all over for the season. Maybe  see you on the trail then.
