Browns Bay Marina - Menzies Bay

This floating restaurant sits in the middle of Browns Bay, a hustling marina, resort, RV Park and Fish Processing plant. Eat on one of the covered patios and watch cruise ships drift by so close, unless you have a very wide angle lense or a panoramic camera, they likely won't fit in your lens. Wander up and down any of 6 or 7 docks, feed deer by hand, watch seals, whales, and eagle cavort.

Beaver Lodge Lands - Campbell River

Walking into Paradise - that's how my puppy viewed this path on his first walk in the forest. This is just one of dozens on the Beaver Lodge Lands. This park was donated to the citizens after being logged as a demonstration forest to be enjoyed in perpetuity. It kind of gives new meaning to the adage, "Don't hug a tree, Hug a logger." And I do the one's that saved this little part of paradise.Click on Picture for a Larger View
