When this one popped into my inbox I could not resist. The good folks at Vancouvertrails.com are running a photo contest through October 4th. The rules are simple, take your camera on your next hiking excursion, snap some photos and sumbit them to Vancouver Trails for a chance to win awesome prizes.
Since I use vancouvertrails.com to map and plan many of my UNPLUGGED excursions you had to know I was in. Will you join me?
The contest details are below the fold.
