I did the 2 hour ferry ride each way, AND sat thru a hockey game just so I could go to J&L's the next day.

I'm lazy, I think the furthest I would go would be 45 minutes to an hour tops, but for an hour it better be something great. I guess we are lucky in Calgary as most things are availbable withing a 45 minute drive.

The question depends on whether there is a friendly reef visit at the end. I've gone to Calgary & back...

Living in Sechelt, it's a 30 min drive to the ferry, a 40 min (and 50-something-dollar) ferry ride to horseshoe bay and then....however long it takes to go where we're going. Drew loooves driving me to all the LFS and as far as Ladner and Abby for frags (please note the heavy sarcasm) It's definatley an all day trip.
We usually go to "town" once or twice a month, and we do other things than visit fish stores....sometimes. I think it's a pretty fair ways to go, but I enjoy it.

So far I've been pretty spoiled I haven't had to go far for what I want. Mostly just accross the city about 30 min. or so. I have gone to Stony Plain before for a fish, but even then it's only about a 45 min.

I have wonderful friends who go to Calgary often so if I ever want anything from there, they will pick it up for me

I brought a cooler full home from Red Coral in Calgary. (Thanks Kevin) Flew them home by West Jet to Comox and then on the ferry to Powell River.
PS. Christy, we would love to have you come visit us over here in PR. Walk on the ferry and I can pick you and others up and do the tour.
