Weblog: The Goose to Sooke Potholes

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry >>

Today I cycled to the Sooke Potholes mostly along the Galloping Goose trail. Substantial portions of the trail were closed because Centra is installing a natural gas pipeline along the trail, which was unfortunate since I had to make some less pleasant detours. The parts of the trail where they have finished are quite rough compared to how they were before. I wish Centra would at least restore the trail back to its prior condition. I wonder why they have to dig up the whole trail just to lay a five-inch diameter piece of PVC pipe. It seems like a lot of unnecessary work. Couldn't they just lay it alongside the trail?

You used to be able to explore the building, but now it's fenced and has a caretaker.
