Nootka Island Trail

Nootka Island Trail

website Nootka Island Trail
History of the area, information about the hikers and a journal of the five day trek over roughly 35km. Nootka Island, just north of Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island's western shores, abounds with the earliest history of British Columbia. The ancient Nuu-Chah-Nulth* village of Yuquot, at the southwestern tip of the island has been continuously settled for over 4,300 years. It is here, the only place in Pacific Canada, where native whaling originated and developed. One of the most significant archaeological finds associated with this heritage is known as the 'Whalers Shrine'. Originally located at one of the lakes adjacent to Yuquot (Friendly Cove), it is now in the New York museum of Anthropology. By the late 18th century, when their ranking leader, Chief Maquinna, greeted the first white men on Vancouver Island, the site at Friendly Cove had become the capital summer village of the Mowachaht* people, housing around 1,500 natives in about 20 wooden long-houses.

2. Kelly Koomes tales from the trail
Articles, poetry, slide shows and detailed trip reports of biking across British Columbia. In 2001 I traveled the 'new and improved' route, becoming in the process the first cyclist to ride the Trans Canada Trail across the province. I kept a log of my journey based upon the new Trans Canada Trail guide book that was published in the same year.

4. Toronto the Good
Tony visits Toronto for a weekend trip in May 1998. went up to Toronto to get out of the US cheaply and (relatively) easily for just a few days. Toronto is known as "Toronto the Good" because in the forties and fifties it was known as a bastion of Victorian morals and goody twoshoe do-goodism. It was also hugely anglophilic, and dull. Then came waves of immigrants, and they loosened the place up. Now you could call this multicultural vibrant but down to earth metropolis "Toronto the Great". Besides, the exchange rate for the US dollar was too good to resist

5. Around Vancouver Island
A story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island in the S.V. Patience in 1995/96. Includes a route map. Around Vancouver Island (AVI) is an entertaining story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island, British Columbia. If you like a good sea or adventure story, or are planning on sailing the waters around Vancouver Island, you will probably enjoy this tale. While we sailed around Vancouver Island, we visited places like Nootka, Hot Springs Cove, Barkley Sound, Nanaimo and Cape Scott. We saw literally dozens of eagles. We saw both killer and humpback whales. At the end of the trip, I made a mistake of judgement and nearly got us into some serious trouble in the rip tides off Point Wilson in the Puget Sound.
