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.

The Canso Bomber Crash Site: A WWII Plane Wreck in Tofino, Vancouver Island
Deep in the forest outside Tofino lies the wreckage of a WWII-era Canso bomber. I followed the muddy trail into the woods to see this remarkable piece of Island history for myself.
Two nights, one remote Vancouver Island lake and absolutely no cell service. A backcountry escape into the woods, logging roads and unexpected moments that make getting offline worthwhile.
