An adventure with Hank (Hank’s Truck Pictures)
Labor Day Weekend 2010


Approaching the ticket booth at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal for out ferry to Vancouver Island
Hey Hank you have one light out in your brake light on the canopy		 Hank on his i-thing texting his daughter
while waiting in the lineup for the ferry		 Hank made certain we got up before the sun rose. We got to the ferry lineup in time to watch the sun come up.
What would we do without our technical devices?
Hank and Pat have lost use of their iPhones Who says it's only the young folk
who are always on their electronic devices
The weather was perfect for our ferry trip to Vancouver Island Hank taking picture of Pat taking picture of Hank
We travelled on one of BC Ferries newest ferries
'Coastal Inspiration'. A very beautiful ferry.		 With the recommendation of an Island friend, we stopped at Island Timberlands yard to take some pictures.
That is Hank beside the old logging arch.
Eventually we were rewarded with a passing log truck on its way to dump a load of logs at a dry sort The drive along the highways on Vancouver Island are very scenic.
Here we are following Hank & Virginia to Port Alberni.
The sign in the right picture tells us that we are entering The Alberni Valley
