Date: August 13- 16, 2009
Target area: British Columbia's Sunshine Coast.
This part of the BC coastline is indeed sunnier than other parts of the
BC coast (especially in summer) due to the rain shadow effect of the mountain
ranges on Vancouver Island.
This dramatic coastline is cut into peninsulas by deep inlets. The sparse
human population is concentrated near the coastline. Only a few miles
inland from the coast are vast tracts of dark, ferny, mossy forests harboring
healthy herds of Roosevelt elk and white-tailed deer. These sprawling
coastal forests are where the encounters and rock-throwing skirmishes
have occured on prior BFRO expeditions.
The 2009 BC Coastal expedition is open only to BFRO members and/or people
who have attended prior BFRO expeditions (anywhere).
If you fall into this category and would like to attend this expedition,
please see the Frequently Asked Questions page.
