While on Vancouver Island, I visited with cousins Clem and Margie Jean in Courtnay, BC. They were wonderful hosts as all Jeans have been(and the hosts at couchsurfing). Clem took me to an old growth area full of 5 to 800 year old Redwoods. Very, very impressive and I can now relate to those tree huggers who fought logging companies to prevent them from cutting down these centuries old trees.
I'll try to add a few pics of these behemoths.
I'm now on my way to Butchart Gardens. My mom visited this place in the 1970's and I've always wanted to see them. When I was in BC in 1986, I didn't visit Vancouver Island because I knew I'd be back and I'd have to leave something new to visit.
