Thanks Roger - we are heading to the Island from Friday Harbour - and are
planning to head northward toward Cape Scott as our main point of travel.
I am from Vancouver and I am semi aware and familiar with parts of the
Island - looking for some valuable feedback from the group which I am
getting - thanks.
Bruce
