Wreck beach is a nude beach in Vancouver. You might be thinking of Sombrio, Mystic or China beach on Vancouver Island.

Fabulous. Great photographs, great history. Small homes are so much better and much more efficient. And you certainly cannot beat the view! Thank you for sharing this!

Could anything like that happen again? The photos of the people are bittersweet.

Hey, this is so fun! A friend of Karen's just sent this piece without knowing that I had just located your video of your zipline ride to Louie Frazier's beautiful pole house! Jim Munro (Vancouver) and I had lived for our first summer in a beautiful driftwood structure on Hornby Island's south cliff built by Canadian artist Jerry Pethick and his wife Margaret, when we drove down the California coast to visit my people in Bolinas. We drove up to Point Arena to visit Hugh Brady and he took us to the magic zipline to

pay a visit to Louie! Thank you for ALL that you have shared.....what a beautiful and honest life!
