Comox BC
From Comox to Cumberland and Bowser BC. Filberg Lodge in Comox was a great example of vintage style, and the beach at Bowser was endlessly interesting for photographic studies of the seashore.
The Cumberland Grind on Vancouver Island. They serve many adventurous beverages including an Americano blended with Butter and Coconut oil called a Bullet Proof. Is it awesome? I didn’t have it.

“Bob spent his adolescent years travelling around the Western United States looking for work. When he was twelve years old, Bob worked for a dollar a day, carrying water to the loggers on the railway lines in Seattle. He gave all his wages to his mother, who suffered from arthritis. As he got older, he started boxing, and was quite successful as a featherweight boxer. However, he stopped participating in the sport after the Seattle Chief of Police warned his mother that boxing was very dangerous.[2] Over the next few years, Bob worked all over the western United States following work. By 1909, the Comox Valley became his home. Here he found work with the Comox Logging and Railway Company (CLRC), a subsidiary of the Canadian Western Lumber Company, as a Timber cruiser – someone who estimates the amount of harvestable wood in a given area.
Originally, the house was meant to be a summer home, but the Filbergs were so pleased with it that they decided to make the Lodge their permanent home. And, in 1935, Bob and Florence Filberg, along with their two children, Mary and Robert “Buddy” junior, moved into the 4000 square ft Lodge. The property would later be christened “Grancuna” (literal Spanish translation: “the great cradle”).”
