Wilderness Stories
Sunshine Coast Part One
The Sunshine Coast lies on the mainland of BC, much of it on a peninsular that stretches from Sechelt to Pender Harbour and beyond. It is accessible only by boat or air, although it is a scenic 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay, a few miles northwest of Vancouver. The area is particularly recommended for boating, especially kayaking, and it is becoming one of the prime mountain bike destinations in BC. Full Story...
Costalegre Adventures
Story & photos by editor
There's a small tour operation called Ray y Eva Tours that I walked by one day while walking the beach in Melaque. They were doing a trip to Tenacatita the next day and I decided to join them.
Big Friday
Story & photos by James Murray
I had just acquired my new form of housing, a 1974 Vanguard motor home. My friend Sarah had decided to loan us (my friend Ian and I) her old home from last year, for the winter. Our plan was to live within as close proximity of the beach as we could, and surf as much as possible for the next few months. The forecast called for a solid west swell that was to peak by Friday.

The Lagoons of Bahia de Navidad
Story & photos by Editor
On one fine January day I took the local bus to Villa Obregon, got off at Calle Esmeralda, and explored the lagoon that lies between there and Barra de Navivad. It is a very large area full of wildlife, including white herons, iguanas, and crocodiles. It is legally only accessible on the perimeter which means walking along Calle Primavera, and/or Vicente Guerrero on the far south side of town, and then along the beach. Or, you can access it from the main roads outside of the villages. Full Story...

Come wilderness travelling, swim in warm emerald sea water, and soak up much needed sun rays on the Pacific coast of Mexico, where Mariarchies play while you dine on exotic seafood... Full story...
BC's Wilderness Hotsprings
Story & photos by Amber Lidstone
BC has a variety of amazing hot springs. Ones like Harrison or Nakusp Hot Springs are developed, but many others lie in our wilderness, accessible only by boat or driving dusty and often muddy logging roads and hiking in. These primitive hot spring pools have had some rudimentary building done to them over the centuries, but mainly they are much the same as when they were formed by primordial thermal underground activity.
