well I get a morning good morning every morning guys greetings from the island

Adverbs of degree

greetings from the island this is just we're just outside of Campbell River

we're visiting miracle Beach at the moment yes and Campbell River is where I

was born yeah so we've already went to sam's

hometown of Gold River now we're in his place right so my I'm from such a small

town village that you know nobody gave birth in town emergency so I was born in

Campbell River yeah and yeah we're gonna be checking out things in and around the

town today yeah okay so the plan we've got a few places plotted on our maps

yeah first up the hatchery because the other

day we were reading the news and we saw that someone had been able to photograph

a black bear because they come to the hatchery to eat some salmon that's right

I'm staring off in the distance because there's a seal just bobbing around

sticking its head out of the water under it goes again but yeah we're hoping to

see black bears yeah that would be our fourth black bear sighting on this whole

trips we've had extremely good luck so crossing our fingers that we see another

one today yeah and aside from that we want to go to Elk Falls to do a bit of

hiking apparently there's a cool suspension bridge there as well that's

right and actually within Campbell River there's a nice pier to visit so it's a

nice combination of beaches hiking maybe seeing some bears maybe walking along

the pier so it should be a really fun day and it's slightly raining at the

moment but apparently we're gonna have mostly nice weather this afternoon yeah

and we're looking forward to the side hopefully poppin yeah exactly

Thank You Vancouver Island what can I tell ya what do you think of miracle Beach so far

it's very nice and you know we're here on a Monday morning so there's hardly

anyone here at work working at school so peaceful so peaceful it's just beautiful

the the water looks like like clear today it looks like a like a reflection

you have clouds off in the sky there's a few ferries we're seeing a few animals

beautiful Beach and yeah we're just gonna walk around for a bit

after a stop at miracle beach we hopped back in the car and continued to drive

up to campbell river after a week at spotting black bears left right and

center we had a funny little incident where a fluffy black creature walked

across the road and everyone mistakenly yelled bear I wonder how often that

once we got into town we checked out some of the murals and browse through

antiques at the Trading Post before heading down to the pier

well guys we made it to Campbell River and the first place we went to I think

it was called a trading post kind of like an antique store but with a

little bit of junk thrown in there so Sam found some cards some playing cards

or hockey cards from his childhood there were only two bucks so he's like yeah

I'm gonna get this so I'm gonna let him show you that little treasure okay so we

arrived in Campbell River ever entered what's the first place well the first

place we we noticed this this big store this giant antique store it's like a

pawn shop antique store slash trading post last trading post it's got

everything in their.all use and guys they had something memories from my

childhood pack of hockey cards Oh peachy from 1991-92 this is 28 years old guys

and these hockey cards inside of there is going to be the most stale piece of

gum you're ever gonna see in your whole life to eat fat no but I'm gonna show it

to you okay and guys all of my favorite you know hockey players growing up could

be in this pack I'm hoping for maybe a Jeremy Roenick or Chris Chelios or Ed

Belfour from the Blackhawks or if it's from the Vancouver Canucks which is the

most local team I might find Trevor Linden or Pavel Bure in here III

don't like them alright let's open it up oh wow mark hunter is the first player I

see but guys the the Bubblegum my 28 year old bubblegum right here are you

gonna try chewing it I mean no I don't want to go to the hospital today okay

let's see who we have Albert Melvin he never became much of a player whoa cam

neely that's a local BC boy hall-of-famer

right here guys he played for the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins

he's from Comox guys Cox BC he's a he's an island boy in the neighborhood

one of the most famous hockey players of all time from from Vancouver Island

Marty McSorley he had a pretty long career

he's also most known for a vicious incident on ice on ice he hacked a

player over the head with a stick Mike Schillinger Jay Miller Oh Michael you

yeah an old goalie because the old pads and it's like ancient gear John Druce Oh

none of my favorite players so far Toronto Maple Leafs come on were the

Blackhawks Kevin Hatcher had a long career and Mark hunter

none of the cards I was hoping for but you know what cam neely made it worth it

for two bucks okay I will get one more so next stop now that Sam has his hockey

cards on he's feeling happy we are at the discovery fishing pier and well it

looks like half fishing vessels and then half sailboats and we also noticed a

sign where you can buy fresh seafood oysters scallops clams and we saw signs

for smoked salmon as well so we'll see if we find any of that and maybe ice

cream I know there's an ice cream shop somewhere here because that's the kind

of thing I would be looking for the discovery pier is Canada's first

saltwater fishing pier so it's a little piece of history it looks out over the

discovery Passage and it's a popular fishing spot the pier stretches out 600

feet and is equipped with rod holders bait stands and fish cleaning tables you

can even rent fishing rods if you're there between May and October however I

was thinking a little less about fishing and a little more about ice cream

well caramel on the bottom and the strawberry on top well so we'll get an

ice cream time for a little dessert before we eat our lunch we do have

sandwiches in the car but I mean there was an ice cream parlor here so we just

couldn't resist so we actually got the smallest cone they had this is the kid

size if you can believe that with two scoops the regular adult sizes all had

three scoops so I got strawberry on top and then we have sea salt caramel for

Sam on the bottom so hurry up and he does draw everything you can get yours

that afternoon we continue to the Quinsam river hatchery because have I

already mentioned that Campbell River is a salmon capital of the world the

hatchery has a visitor center with information about the hatchery program

in the salmon lifecycle but really I think most of us were there for a chance

well guys we've arrived at our next destination

the Quinsam hatchery we got here just in time because apparently they close at

3:30 p.m. we had no idea so we barely got in there's lots of

warning signs here about two black bears and there's also a lot of photographers

with their massive zoom lenses waiting by the river so apparently it's a good

spot to see bears we haven't seen any yet but I mean we've already spotted

three during our trip here across the islands though we're doing pretty good

yeah we're just heading down to the water now see what's going on they also

have some trails that you can walk along a nice spot
