Yesterday I blogged about how mud has often played a major part of springtime in McBride. It might interest you to know that there is a subset season at the beginning of spring, that is called “Breakup.” Breakup begins when the logging roads become so messy with mud that trucks are banned from using them. Restrictions on weight also come into effect on our secondary roads, because heavy truck loads can damage their surface .
Above is a photo of what our road often looked like in the spring, before it was paved. Below are some photos of places inside the “city” limits of the Village of McBride. The photo immediately below shows the roadway beside the arena, leading to the Community Hall. The below that is the area going up to the garbage bins where we deposit our trash. The photo at the very bottom shows the logging road at the end of our road.
I should say that all of these photos were taken in years past and most of the problematic muddy places shown have been improved.
