A Different Ferry
After more than 30 years of travelling on the three Salt Spring Island ferry routes, I have to say this ferry takes the cake. It loads in two minutes, scoots quietly across on a cable system in 5 minutes, and unloads in a minute. It runs from 5 am until 10 pm.
And it’s free.
This is the Needles Ferry (Needles to Fauquier across Lower Arrow Lake). It’s been operating since 1913.
Vernon Morning
We’re back from a two week excursion to the Kootenays.
As I catch up with Salt Spring work, please enjoy some moments from our journey.
This first image is along a twisty backroad through farms/ranches and vineyards near Vernon.
Mount Erskine Hike
It’s been awhile since Cameron and I have hiked to the Erskine summit. We headed up yesterday in the rain and saw something we hadn’t seen for months: puddles!
Despite the drought, the forest greens were looking healthy. There were also signs of heavy trail use, but not a single bit of litter.
Fall Weather Cruiser
A single cruiser overnights at Fernwood Pier in autumn-like weather. The pier is one of the quietest early-morning places on northern Salt Spring island. Before long, the winter birds will arrive in this area and liven things up a little.
