We had been to The Knight Inlet in Canada before on a day trip by small boat and always wanted to come back and stay. This is the dock area in Campbell River on Vancouver Island where we met our pilot,

and boarded our plane for the flight into the inlet.

The trip in is stunning and carries you deep into pristine wilderness.

Here is our little cabin in the big woods. It is new construction and sits on the water’s edge.

It is tiny, but charming, and has everything you need.

I just went to visit my daughter Dre,

in Pacific Grove California.

The roads were downright Hollerific,
DSC09615
with scenery just like Hollerdom.

There were Hollerish folks,

like this army veteran who loves butterflies and Hillary Clinton. (You have to play, “Where’s Hillary? and look for her in the first butterfly house photo. Click to enlarge to see her clearly!)

The critters were different,
DSC09457
but it’s nice to know there are Hollers everywhere,
DSC09478
with creative folks, living in natural places, with wild animals,
DSC09472
that are protected.
Cheers to you from Dre’s Holler~
