I'm taking a ride with my best friend








ROAD TRIP

The Island Highway #19 between Nanaimo and Parksville is best traveled when listening to 90's rock. Throw in a little Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins and you have yourself a time machine. The road is a long stretch of asphalt dotted with cheap motels, RV trailers and bizarre places to get your hair cut. Fill up at the Husky gas station and take a ride – sexy mud flaps optional. Here are a few photos I snapped along the way.

Get out the guitars and banjos gang, were going to have a hoot nanny. Now these shots look like I just took a trip in a time machine and arrived in 1990. What year is it again? And turn up the tape deck. Your photos capture the side of Parksville that people have forgotten. Nice work. PS Parksville has the nicest sandy beaches I have ever seen.

Whoa dude...those are your photos? I didn't read your blurb right away and assumed that they were found images off the web (mostly cuz they really do look like they were taken in 1993!)...nice work!

Yeah man, I took those photos but I had help with my time machine. Thanks for the "big ups" Mary & Adhawk.

Yeah Annelise! I'll take the job (even though I'm too dark and moody for the Ativan induced readership).
