After a noisy night, Tim and I woke up in the Scottsdale desert surrounded by rain puddles. The storms that soaked California yesterday tore through Arizona.

After our days on the coast, Tim and I pointed Frank south to explore the backcountry of Vancouver Island. With no paved roads on the west side of the island, we took to the rough gravel logging roads and drove to Carmanah Valley. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Logging
