About This Item

I would like to travel the breadth of Canada from West to East staying as close to the Trans-Canada Highway as possible. I am starting out at the Saanich View - Finlayson Arm Geocache near Victoria and would like to someday return there. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take some pictures and post them here!

While raiding the captains loot down by the sea the hippo escaped and is going on a voyage, but not by sea like the captain would prefer!

Pi'tures ta foller....
