Shawn said (snip): >As with anything, there are tradeoffs...I'm sure most of us can find a spot we'd love to live 50-100 miles from where we live right now...Is the grass really greener (or in Sooke's case, more smokable?!) somewhere farther away?< Funnily enough my wife and I were just talking about our game plan for the next few years early today. Her words, "Doug, you're a kayaker, what do you care about a big place in the country. Just as long as you have gas money for kayaking and a place to dry your gear, that's all you really need to worry about, and that's fine with me." Wow, she said that. My wife did. So I went out and bought my two girls new quality mountain bikes, and we will just continue to enjoy the outdoors where we are planted. As for kayaking, I'm sure there are many places around the world that are just as lovely as BC. Anyway, kayaking isn't a destination, it's a journey. Amen.
