We are all feeling a little displaced these days, so this video from British Columbia should come as no surprise. It’s being touted as an effect of empty cities but of course we know it’s the effect of APRIL and the need to disperse. I sure hope those empty streets help the beaver safely find water soon.

The Campbell river flows through Vancouver island and into the straiht of Georgia beside which this store is located. The strait is pure Pacific ocean with high waves, salty water and resident orcas so you can imagine for yourself why this parking lot looks like a much better deal to our young friend. The store is about 100 miles up the strait from Nanaimo Island which we’ve talked about a lot and these happy beavers were lovingly filmed.

The whole region is drop dead gorgeous. It’s about 175 miles north of Judy and Jim Atkinson in Port Moody. If I were planning an early fall ferry trip any time soon, I would head that direction.
