We use to go hiking and swimming in this area while growing up on the island.

I knew it was beautiful, but to see it from the air gave a new dimension to the beauty of the area

Nice, we have to settle for places like this.

I wonder how fast the fish are considering how fast you have to troll.

I grew in Grand Prairie which is where that bridge is near. No river boats though, we used to drive a way upstream and canoe down over 2 or 3 days. Totally love rivers, even that small on that runs through Duncan. Where the Smoky and Cutbank meet there is a huge set of rapids that has eaten more than a few river boats, one was a dual engine one and not a trace of any of them have been found.

There's a river in Cowichan that's just made for slow lazy floats down it in the summer. Best thing in the world.

That could be the same river, there was a place upstream that had a pool about 30ft deep and on the far side a cliff with several spots for jumping. I made it only about 30ft up but some were at 100ft I'm sure, pretty ballsy to do it from that height.

That is the way we used to canoe, load it up with beer and shells and pot and some food and drift downstream. Later it became so popular we had to start leaving the guns at home. Ever notice you can drink a lot more on a river than you can in a popular bar?

I doubt it would be as much fun as sailing on the west coast and we had a lot of fun which is why we did so much of it.

Pot causes you to have a hangover? No wonder you are so bitchy. You need a goal, swim the Grand Canyon should straighten you our. That is downstream rather than across the river. BTW you don't have to swim across the river to find a drink of water. and you are still a 3rd level troll.

I'll bet you could fix it up for Halloween and make a bundle. Few lights some sound effects, baying wolf especially.

It's a beautiful area but whoever was flying that drone spent far too much time around those filthy old buildings and not nearly enough in nature-which tells us all we need to know about him.

Who is this "us"?

You and your imagination?

If you knew the drone operator you could map out the 'fortress' in fine detail and invent your own 'level' if texting only gets to have VR rooms that range from flight simulators to road racing to running a boat on open water. The data from the river flight could be the 'background'. That block of data would end up being a large collection, such as the bike path that goes across Canada and the locals could do that data collection for all the bike paths (and streets and alleys) and then you seed that scenery onto 3 interlocking screens and you have the basic 'cave', sitting in the middle is the VR controller that can have 1-4 people having a seat at the same time. I can see where that would make staying at home somewhat more fun as your interaction is with a larger group than what would be 'normal' for life in an Igloo. The bike path could use a bike as the controller and the resistance on the pedals would reflect what it would be if you were on that part of the actual.

A custom 'track would be how the ruins are lit up and what 'creatures are lurking around'. To map the river release 500 yellow ducks with gps and accelometers at once and that gives you the flow from bank to bank that would have all the swirls and speed increases in the narrow places. You should be able to have the same bike act like a high-powered river boat and you choose if you are going upstream or down-stream. The rapids I mentioned earlier would be there and backing down them might be the way through the roughest water would be backing the boat down and the bow is pointed upstream rather than pedal to the medal. A realistic kayak would also something that could be mimicked with the touch of a few buttons. The Bolivian kid who chose bare-feet and a glass of tea is two days ahead of the rest of the pack.

Very nice... but all that beautiful stonework defaced!

Scott does not approve!
