:mrgreen: I'm gonna torture you guys too :lol:

Some good shots from my vacation out to bc and back, including the mandatory stop at vancouver aquarium :)

Taken at golden ears - great campground... Too "inner city" though, way too many party animals in the campground.

Campfires can be good:

those are some great pics! fyi, the butterflies are a seasonal thing (annual) from late june to late september. that fish is called a silver spotted sculpin (temperate species same as those nems).

It was an awesome trip - not quite what I had planned... No broken bones but my truck was written off 2 days before we planned to leave - bit of a bad start; then fighting with insurance to get a rental for the trip... Literally had to camp out for numerous hours in the lil-s**t's insurance adjusters office until they decided to take care of me on friday.

We were intending to hit the island, but the rental chewed up a lot more gas; so those plans kinda changed. We did however take the long way home up the sea to sky - now that's a drive worth the ~3-4hr detour.
