Urgent - Paddlers heading to BC are advised that a backwoods travel ban is now in effect for the southern part of BC and Vancouver Island South. It is best to find out if the area headed to is accessible and open. This has been the driest year since records have been kept..Not sure how extensive this is in terms of use, but I take it many logging roads will be closed. I'm heading off next week kayaking, so will likely paddle out of a major west coast town, but I'm not sure how west coast water travel will be effected. http://canada.com/national/story.asp?id=FEA96787-6EBE-4397-B904-C92CDDE24EEE Doug Lloyd Victoria BC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ "Whatever can be said at all can be said clearly and whatever cannot be said clearly should not be said at all."
