Default New adventures in Victoria

I am in Esquimalt now, but I think I will continue the thread as it is .

I have met Tom Clark and I can state that he is a fine gentleman. He has showed me around and introduced me to HMV enthusiasts all over town. Thanks Tom.

Here are a few more pictures of my new surroundings.

Default Victoria in the spring

Not a military oriented post but it is nice to smell the flowers once in a while.

Enjoying spring in Victoria while my friends from across Canada and the US and especially the ones in the East ( NH included ) are suffering from a very harsh winter...

Taken in front of our local church last Sunday.

Spring is here... Nice view from the Wardroom and a lot nicer than the old one up on Colville Road. Now that you've been to Fort Rodd Hill, you should see if you can arrange a side trip to Mary Hill or to the installation on the far side of the Rocky Point facility. View from Mary Hill gives you the whole Victoria and Esquimalt harbour waterfront and Juan de Fuca Strait. On a clear morning, inactive volcanos Mt Baker and way south, Mt Rainier are visible. Lots of military history around Victoria if you know where to look and can have access to those inside the barbed wire. Have fun!

Hi Jes,

As a matter of fact and in pure coincidence , the Rocky Point facility CO called me yesterday ...

Guess what ? I am invited to visit the remains of the batteries at Mary Hill to my heart's content !

Will be doing that in the coming weeks as the weather improves.

Anyone interested in tagging along for the tour ?

It will have to be during daytime / week -day. Current photo ID required , I can be your sponsor.

Do not post interest here, send me an email please .

Cheers,

Robert

Default Pacific Coast of Canada

Being from the East, I noticed since my arrival on the Island last September that there are a few differences in the lifestyle here.

First I noticed the smell of pot while walking the streets of Comox and Courtenay .

Then while cycling I spotted this sign...only on Vancouver Island I say. Only on Van Isle...

For the record that is not in Esquimalt but in nearby Saanich.

They are more spiritual up there.
