Back To The Future
Sometimes inspiration comes from a place you once were, but can never go back to. I gave Logan a fresh skate deck for Christmas last year, however Logan still had those little kid qualities about him so I constantly reminded him, if I ever found that deck sitting in the rain or left uncared for, I would break it. Fortunately,... »
Muchalat Lake
Fishing in and around Gold River in the fall is always fun no matter if fish are caught or not. However, camping can be a chilling experience. A friend and I had planned to go up to Muchalat Lake for some fly-fishing and river scouting ever since the beginning of this past summer. With conflicting schedules throughout the summer a... »
Chill On The Hill
All of a sudden the gondola began to vibrate and the floor pounded. I wondered if this was proper practice for a gondola. Snorri and I had arrived in Whistler the night before, at about 1:00am. We were there to check out NESTEA’s Chill On The Hill. It had been a long haul from Victoria, so we... »
Spotlight on Nova Scotia - The Cabot Trail
I peeled my left eyelid open to see the fog sitting on top of us. This could not have turned out any worse for our morning plans. We were in Cheticamp on Cape Breton Island about to take on the Cabot Trail before heading to Halifax. Our hosts at the B&B were encouraging us to go for... »
Spotlight On Nova Scotia Part 1
After spending a week on Prince Edward Island, Abby and I were headed to Nova Scotia while my mom broke off the train and headed to Quebec. Pulling out of Charlottown we had two options, catch the ferry to Nova Scotia or drive across the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick. The ferry would be quicker if the timing was perfect,... »
Special Feature PEI - Points East Coastal Drive
The plane touched down at precisely midnight on the 22nd of May. It lurched and jarred as the brakes were engaged and it came to a stop in front of the little building at the Charlottetown Airport. Even after a grueling 12 hours in airports and aboard planes, there would not be much sleep after the trip to the East... »
Cape Scott Finale
We woke up around 8:00am on Monday morning, and decided today was going to be a relaxing one. At the far end of Nell’s Bight is Fredrickson Point. The sun was out and Fredrickson Point looked like a great place to explore at a lazy pace. I would say it’s a 2km walk, along the beach, from the ranger cabin... »
Cape Scott Part II
The Ranger cabin is left unlocked as an emergency shelter in the off-season, which is from September 30th to April 30th, I think. However, I believe the cabin becomes more like a posh hotel for whoever claims it first. If you are lucky enough to get it, make sure to leave the cabin in better shape than you found it.... »
Cape Scott - Part I
With winter being over and the skies beginning to clear, I thought it was time for a little adventure. My buddy Matt suggested going to Cape Scott for three nights, I immediately agreed. Matt told me he went last year around the same time and it was amazing. The sun came up early on the morning of... »
I’d Rather Be Fishing
“Look at those prints, they look really fresh. Usually when I’m out here by myself I sing the dumbest songs just to make noise. I figure if a Cougar can hear me coming, the sound will scare it off. Stop! What was that?” There are many people who call themselves fishermen. However, very few make it a lifestyle. Simply walking to... »
