Field Journal
Vancouver Island adventures, forgotten history & photography from the field.
Welcome to my Field Journal — stories from the backroads, trails, historic places and wild corners of Vancouver Island and beyond. Part adventure log, part local history, and part photographer’s notebook, this is where I share the places I explore, the stories I uncover, and what I learn along the way.
