    Galbraith monument

    Hey bellingham mags, does anyone know what happened to the sculpture at the top of ridge trail on Galbraith. I rode up there today and it's gone.

    looks like the blue rock sculpture and the one up by the towers is gone too. Trillium must of found something else to do with them. I remember they only stuck them on Galby because they already owned them and they were just on one of their lots, so the might as well "store" them up there. I guess maybe they finally found a real use for them. I was always surprised by the amount of money they probably dropped on the concrete pads they put down.

    I noticed that too yesterday, I didnt see any of the monuments I remember from the last time I was up there.

    Yesterday was sweet, good sun, dry trails, and a messed up fork
    I might have some POV in a day or 2, assuming the vid is good

    Trillium owned the land, it was repossessed by the bank after they defaulted on it, and the new owners (the bank) made the owners remove their artwork or have it destroyed. Enjoy Galby, it'll probably be developed in the next 10 years. Seriously.
    OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!
