Shell Way
A clam-shell lined trail at T’aanu in Gwaii Haanas (map link).
T’aanu Llnagaay is a Haida village that is now managed by Haida Watchmen who guide visitors through the village.
The clam-shells indicate where visitors are allowed to walk to control impacts to the cultural features.
They are also excellent trail markers in low light.
Visited while travelling on the Passing Cloud.
Skidegate Pole
This is Bill Reid’s Skidegate Pole that he carved in 1976 for the village of Skidegate, Haida Gwaii.
It stood until a couple of years ago when it was taken down for safety reasons.
Currently it lies in carving shed at the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate, awaiting conservation so it can stand again, this time in the pole gallery in the Heritage Centre’s Museum.

Waiting
So, what does one do while waiting in airports?
Take pictures of course, though at the Victoria airport, there is little to inspire, so I only took this one shot on this trip.
Lost
So, this location I cannot pin down anymore. I don’t think it is Lost or Tuft Island, but nothing looks right on the maps either.
It is, however, in Gwaii Haanas along the west shore of Hecate Strait, so that will have to do I guess.
Seen while cruising on the Passing Cloud.
Gordon Islands Hike
We stopped at the Gordon Islands for a walk to the top of the main island (map link).
This was while travelling on the Passing Cloud in July.
