Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Adventure 06: Mount Benson. We didn’t really know what we had signed up for. Our friends Jason and Charity, the ultimate outdoor couple, wanted us to come along for their Victoria Day outing. A hike to the top of Mount Benson? Sure, why not? That sounds like fun. 8220;And what about our kids? 8221; I asked Jason. We walked a few hundred meters on the lake trail and then veered out through...

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Saturday, May 2, 2009. Adventure 05: Qualicum Beach. A friend told me that I had to go to the Fire and Ice Street Festival. In Qualicum Beach. . No," my friend said. "They have ice sculptures and a chili cook-off.". Ice carving sounded kind of cultural and cool-ish. But chili cook-off sounded more like my old Texas thing. I mean, chili in Vancouver Island? I had to see it; I had. Very cold, I mean, cool. Bu...

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Friday, March 27, 2009. I don’t really like the term “couch potato” (or as I once said to a friend in a tongue slip, “that guy is a potato couch”). I prefer sedentary. Of a person) tending to spend much time seated;. But you know what? It sounds exciting, so I said, wha-da-heck, let’s try it. Maybe one day I’ll be able to do all those outdoor sports and more. Maybe one day I’ll be the ...If you are not into out...

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures: Adventure 03: Drumberg Park

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Adventure 03: Drumberg Park. This adventure didn't require much adrenaline or special skills. This was smooth and easy. Just a walk in a beautiful provincial park in Gabriola Island. Here, it's more about watching than it is about doing. I actually spotted a couple of eagles, two snakes and some other sea creatures. Here are some pictures of the scenery:. Vancouver Island, Canada.

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Adventure 04: Cathedral Grove. This was my birthday adventure. . An ancient forest in the heart of Vancouver Island, inhabited by giant sleepers covered in green moss: some fallen, some still standing, some blackened and hollowed by centuries-old fires, some indented by loggers, some carved by Canada's First Nations, and all admired by the dwarf tourists. Welcome to Cathedral Grove.

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Monday, May 25, 2009. I had the chance of a cool adventure this weekend but ended up not taking it. We were at Horne Lake, where you can do caving, kayaking and canoeing, but we decided to simply hike and leave the caving for some other time, when my buddy Andrew (who's a cave tour guide at the park) is free to take us there and not busy in training. And we'll take you in some wild outdoor adventure. Our friend...

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Monday, June 1, 2009. This was definitely different. Bioluminescence, glowing plankton. anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. The beginning of the story goes like this:. I was at a Counselor Training Seminar at Camp Qwanoes. I hope there is no high tide," he said. . Yes, the tide was high. All the way. We balanced ourselves over fallen logs, ducked below low-hanging branches and climbed around boulders&#...So I ...

Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures: Between Adventures
http://vioutdoors.blogspot.com/2009/05/between-adventures.html
Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventures. A sedentary's journey to become the ultimate outdoor guy. Sunday, May 10, 2009. I didn't go on an adventure this past weekend, other than taking our kids to a birthday party. I did learn a lesson about buying mountain bikes, though. We had bought a bike at a general retail store (Canadian Tire) instead of going to a specialty bike shop because they had some good brand bikes at 50% off. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
