Here's a tale about an interesting island, once owned by the guy who informally
discovered a well know celebrity. When we visited a few months ago, we found
evidence of giants.......

Wallace Island



Great story, Chuck. Wallace Island is one of my favourite destinations in
the Gulf Islands (although it can get REALLY crowded in the summer!).

Last time I was there, I saw something you didn't mention. There was a
shelter that from far off looked like it was in Bad Shape: bits of the
ceiling dangling down... but when I got there to look more closely, the
"ceiling" bits were driftwood, each with a boat/crew name on it. There
were hundreds. No, thousands! It was an erie feeling to go into the
shelter and be surrounded by the spirits of all those boats!

I don't know what the "rules" were - if you could just hang your driftwood
wherever you could, but there were many piled up around the walls as well
- I got the feeling someone (Parks people?) "rotated" them so everybody
got a chance to be displayed.

Did you see this?
