So....anyone interested in starting a company?

PS I know you can't build a house directly on concrete, and I'm sure some of the posts/spans aren't up to code and there aren't any doors and not enough windows.....

Olympic Break: Deep Cove Two Day Kayak Trip

Olympic Break: Northeast Vancouver Island

Another necessary escape during the Olympics, this time to the Northeast coast of Vancouver Island. Hopped on a ferry to Naniamo and made it as far north as Miracle Beach (between Campbell River and Comox). It was a short two night trip but covered the important aspects of the island; kayaking, marine life, massive trees, unsurpassed sunrises and top notch camping food.

A local guy watching these California Sea Lions with his kids said the herring run on the island was exceptional this year so they stayed north for the prolonged feast.

He also said they were so obnoxious and loved that specific dock the fisherman installed a 10,000 volt electric fence to keep them in line.
