I was away.
Back now.
Rode on a couple BC ferries for a total of 4 hours.
BC ferries are um, different and way big.





The walkways on the right side of this pic are well over 2 stories high

Saw some reasonably fresh wolf tracks on the beach, many times my wife and I were walking areas with no other human types.



On the way to the ocean beaches we stopped in Squamish BC to ride a newish (opened last year) gondola. 2800' in 10 minutes, easiest mountain climb ever!

In addition to multiple trails and view points they had this thingy...
It made my wife squeal a bit.

A typical summer day in Florida.

West coast Vancouver beaches go on and on, like most beaches they are best at low tide

Hard to believe 'full service' costs an extra $2/gallon, but I guess these guys prey on the disabled and the unwary.

Americans with Disabilities Act makes it illegal to charge handicapped more than self service price.

Gorgeous bikes Byron!

The only time I've seen car/boat camping rolled into one... minimal places on Ross lake to dock an auto. And it's about 12 miles down a very cantankerous lake wind and wave wise.
The emergency dingy was a good backup plan.






Wanna make a kid happy?
Let em drive the boat
