Gone Fishing - Drone over Red Deer River - Alberta Canada
We had the fortune of visiting good friends in Red Deer - they live in a lovely place and took me for a work along the river. I took Sparky and when editing was inspired to create this song from the beauty and presence of the place.
I used a Fender Strat Guitar, Vox AC15, Marshall Delay, Polaris Reverb, EHX compressor, CLA plug ins in Ableton Live

Cariboo Trail 1860, still visible today in the High Alpine

No grass grows on the Cariboo trail. Maybe the feet of the thousands that sought fortune in these mountain streams have left something behind after all. A well worn high mountain trail and a place called British Columbia.
It's been over one hundred and 50 years since this place was the well traveled trail to Gold the Cariboo Trail

The 1860's brought an incredible GOLD RUSH to the interior of a brand new British Colony called British Columbia

Parasailing PEI - August 2014

Parasailing over New London Bay in Prince Edward Island, Canada. One of my favorite places in the Maritimes! Anyone can try it out in the summer seasons down on your way into Cavendish at Inn at the Pier just outside New London.

Little pricey but still fun, we opted for just 800ft here but they'll put you up as high as 1000ft if you want to pay more. I did the 1000ft years ago and really, not much difference.

Watch as we depart in a Bell 206B and fly over the Black Canyon and the famous Hoover Dam.

The Hidden Story Behind Vancouver's Twin Peaks

The Lions are two of the most famous mountain peaks in Canada. But they have a much, much older name that's tied to a story from long before the city was founded.

You can read the full story of “The Two Sisters” as told to Pauline Johnson by Joe Capilano here:


You’ll find many of the others legends found in the book on that same fantastic Legends of Vancouver website too, along with a map for a walking tour of many of the landmarks—most of them in Stanley Park:

This episode, maybe even more than any other we’ve done so far, relied on collaboration beyond our little team of four.

First off, we want to thank Stefany Mathias so much for reading the passage from “The Two Sisters”. As we mention in the episode, she’s the great-granddaughter of Joe and Mary Capilano and one of sixteen hereditary chiefs of the Squamish Nation. She’s also an actor who you might know from shows like DaVinci’s Inquest and Longmire. It’s a dream come true to have her read that passage. You can follow her…

And Facebook:

If you’d like to learn more about the history of the Squamish Nation, they share a bit more about it on their website:

We were also honoured to be guests on the territory of the Six Nations near Brantford, Ontario, while we were filming at Chiefswood. Pauline Johnson’s birthplace and childhood home is a national historic site now, which you can visit yourself:

The Six Nations shares a bit more about the history of the Haudenosaunee on their website, too:

Johnson loved Vancouver’s natural surroundings, and spent long hours exploring the city’s waters in her canoe. She even did a little renaming of her own while she was there: coming up with a new moniker for a little tidal bay that has been turned into a permanent lake in Stanley Park. The Squamish called it Ch'ekxwa'7lech; the settlers called it Coal Harbour; Johnson wrote a poem about it called “The Lost Lagoon” and that’s still the name it’s known by today.

Fun fact: Johnson was the very first Canadian woman to appear on a stamp. And just a few years ago, she was one of the five women picked as finalists when the government was deciding who to feature on the new $10 bill. (They eventually picked Viola Desmond, who might be in your wallet right now.)

We’d also like to thank the family of Ben Lim. He’s the North Vancouver artist who did the illustrations for the 1961 edition of Legends of Vancouver, which is an absolutely gorgeous little book. We’re thrilled to have been able to use his art in our episode. Sadly, he passed away in 2016, but he left a remarkable artistic legacy behind, including extraordinary ceramic sculptures of the wildlife of the West Coast.

You can check out some of those sculptures from the Doodlebug Dabblings blog, and see how his work inspired children who visited his 2016 exhibition at the Seymour Gallery, here:

And finally, we’d like to thank the Seymour Gallery, as well. They’re a not-for-profit who’ve been bringing art, performances and education programs to North Vancouver since 1985:

Those giant old trees that used to tower above the forest floor in the places where Vancouver’s glass skyscrapers now stand weren’t only coveted by the city’s own settlers. Some of them were chopped down to be sent off to China on the order of the Celestial Emperor of China. He used them to make huge beams — dozens of them — which are now part of the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Beijing’s Forbidden City. You may also know that gate by its Chinese name: The Tiananmen. And if you’re interested in Chinese gates, then oh boy, do we ever have an episode for you:

Oh, and while we’re at it, we’ve also got an episode about King Edward VII — the monarch that Joe Capilano petitioned on his trip to London. Or, at least, about a statue of the king that stands in a park outside the Ontario legislature in Toronto, but which used to stand outside a 400 year-old fort half a world away:

The Sinking of the Columbia

Since the advent of steam-powered vessels, riverboats were a popular form of excursion. While somewhat dangerous at first (boiler explosions and general safety issues), riverboats had become a fairly safe way to travel by the early 1900's. One such popular vessel, was the Steamer Columbia, which sailed out of the port of Peoria, Illinois. On what was supposed to be a routine Moonlight Excursion to Alfresco Park, a popular amusement destination along the Illinois river in Peoria, something went terribly wrong. On the return voyage to Pekin, Illinois, the Columbia ran into a dense fog covering the river. With pressures to have everyone home by midnight, the pilot pressed on through the murk. With no visual landmarks, two 90-degree bends in the river, and a sand bar, the boat ran aground on the Peoria County side of the river, across from Wesley City (now present day Creve Coeur). Fearing the worst, Captain Herman Mehl ordered the hull to be checked for water. The engineer and the first mate discovered the hull was flooded. Whether it a submerged stump or other debris, a decision had to be made. The captain ordered the pilot, Tom Williams to Run her ashore! As the river was not that deep, the pilot figured he had enough time to move the vessel to the other shore, where there would be help available from the small mining and fishing village. They could never have predicted what happened next.

Seal on shore

Found this seal on the West River, PEI shore while we were out kayaking. Just enjoying a lovely day.
