I remember going to "the Barnie" (beside PoMo high school!) for peelers before that got knocked down.

St. Johns actually, not to be confused with James Rd which is also just past the Golden Spike. We also had Murray St, Moray St, and Moody St ... confusing!

Once, my friend and I capsized a sailboat in Burrard inlet. #-o I also witnessed a train derailment and an explosion at the chemical plant.
Im guessing the capsize wasn't like this one?

Still good fun.
This one was in False Creek, at Sunset Beach. From the debris it looked to have gone straight over the rocks and ripped the keel off.

I lived in Chilliwack on Baker Dr. in 2006. That's when I learned to be a raft guide.

I had friends that lived on baker. Jamie Rogers and Andy bergsma. Not friends anymore though they decided to "get high on their own supply". And I have no time for that.
Small world eh?
Should make a trip out here some day. Show chilliwack that there is more than one guy at the river in a lifted strofari!
