In September, I hiked the West Coast Trail of Vancouver Island in British Columbia with a bunch of friends. This was the second time that I have hiked the trail. It was years ago (1998?) when I first did it with JP and his brother Michel.

This time we had a bigger crew with JP, Miriam, Louise, Christine, Ken, Mark, Vk and me. It was a blast to get out there with a bunch of friends in the backcountry for 8 days. Although there are some grueling parts of the trail, it is fun and relaxing – at least if you don't try to do it in 5 or 6 days. Eight days is a nice round number.

I'll post more soon, but this is the start to some photos being put up.

I took 21 rolls of film on the trip – mostly bracketed shots – so I have 240 pics in slide format (Velvia 50). I also had my Canon SD 550 there and took another 200+ shots. Although it captured some good pics, I really like what I can get with film and it also gives me slide shows! The above link is only shots scanned from slides. I will start another site soon with lots of digital pics of mine and others from the trip.

Cheers,
