On this part of the Island the choice, away from water, was trees or logging roads. Which weren't used very often and might indeed have been mostly grass, I don't remember. It's not as if I was allowed to fly high enough to give myself much of a choice - "we're bush pilots, we get nosebleeds if we go above 200'".

Love the stories - if I could have chosen I'd have been a BC bush pilot a few decades ago, preferably with my own Beaver.
