Hmm…Looks a bit Gusty!

Check out the vortice off the left wingtip when it scrapes the ground.  He landed safely on the second attempt.

Ucluelet – Fun’s Over

 

End of the vacation.

We departed Ucluelet around 10:00am, hoping to make the 12:30 ferry (again?).  But this was a Wednesday, so we were certain there wouldn’t be a huge amount of traffic.  (They called this “foreshadowing” in my writer’s workshop.)

So once again it was a pleasant trip in the Crossfire.  Now the Crossfire has [...]

Ucluelet – Day 2

During our visit to Ucluelet we stayed in this cabin.

You can see from the empty lot that this is the off season.

These are these are the whale watching boats.  We were scheduled to go out on the bigger Dixie IV.

But due to weather, the boat was not able to leave the harbor.

Ucluelet – Day 1

It was a very pleasant drive and we saw horses and a bison farm on the way.  Our goal was to visit Helcken Falls.  It’s 3 times as high at Niagara Falls and with all the cold weather [...]

Hooked up the team to the sled.

Harnessed the team.

And took off.

Then we stopped to take photos.

And took off again back down the mountain.

The names of the dogs.

Carrying on [...]

Dogsledding Details

So here’s the rundown (see pictures in Steve’s post above).

We arrived at the homestead yesterday and got settled in.  The proprietor told us that the sledding would start early since it was so warm, the dogs get too hot by the afternoon, so we were told to meet our guide at 8:00 am at a [...]

Me & My iPhone

I am so cool I can hardly stand myself!

Update on the Chir-drens

While in Salmon Arm we of course checked in on the little ones.  This is Shaylene and the cat.  She’s in high school.  She might be coming to Simon Fraser University, or maybe the University College of the Cariboo (or whatever its called now) in Kamloops.

This is Colton.  He generally walks around the [...]
