The Dirt in Ferndale


The Ferndale bike jump park is now a work in progress, next to the American Legion Hall at the end of Third Avenue. On Sunday a lone man with a shovel and a bulldozer was working at the site. The dirt piles appear to need some forming, smoothing and packing, and the guy could probably use some help.

Several years ago I joined a volunteer work party to spend a Saturday clearing brush on the Bay to Baker Trail, a much more ambitious local bike project. Five or six people showed up, all between the ages of 45 and 70 years. My feeling now is that kids should beg their elders to build places for them to play, and then show up to help with the dirty work.


Or, you could go fishing
