The turnout at this event was a fraction of the previous evening’s, even though the sights were more interesting, in my opinion. For this leg of the torch relay, the flame was carried 80 feet up and down a spur tree at the Squamish Logger’s Sports grounds.
The first picture was taken during Squamish Days 2006, but thought it might show just how tall these spar trees are.
I wanted to call this post, “Pole Smokers” but though the reference might be perceived as derogatory toward those who participated, so then I called it, “Flaming Poles” but that might have mislead the eastern European gay community (who all follow this site quite closely, I’m sure)
Hi there,
Is there anyway you could send me full size photos of Rob climing the trees? I am emailing on his behalf and we both agree that your pictures are the best we have seen so far.
Thanks for coming out to support.
