Saltspring Island - Ruckle Farm
Mid September took us to Saltspring Island for the annual fall fair. After wandering about the fairgrounds we decided to do some sightseeing at Ruckle Provincial Park where we stopped to admire a postcard view of the old Ruckle farm.

Whistler - Plenty of Mountain Biking in the Spring
On our journey from Horseshoe Bay (Nanaimo, actually) to Lillooet, we stop for lunch at Whistler. It's May, and we encountered a few skiers and boarders in the parking lot. However, it's clear that this is Spring, and those seeking snow must make for the top of the slopes. Not to worry. There's plenty of action on the lower slopes for bikers. On this day, the village is a-buzz with mountain bikers ready to take on the hills.

Lillooet - Details of the 23 Camels Bridge
A road trip in May took me up to Lillooet. One of the things to see in Lillooet is the historic 23 Camels Bridge, not too far from the centre of the village. My camera was attracted to the rusty fixtures.
