I saw an Elk for the first time slow and up close! I think it was a mum and calf. Youbou is famous for having Elk just wandering around town.

Here's a younger #bull #elk - from my past homesteading life, in #Youbou on the shores of #LakeCowichan

When I lived in #Youbou & had #RooseveltElk visit daily. I miss living on edge of wilderness. Hoping I can get back to homesteading life in the future, with a better kindred partner who shares similar simple lifestyle dreams 🙌

I've never searched Instagram (I assume that's what IG is?) for people? Maybe I don't know how to harness the power of Instagram? I search hashtags a lot. I used to spend 80s summers in Youbou, British Columbia and recently searched #youbou to see what it looks like now ..? I search cats and otters and cities I'm going to visit.
If there are people I should be searching for, perhaps young ladies who drop things and are always bending over to pick them up, let me know

The rental property house that I used to live at while we were in #Youbou 🦅 My ex & I lived there for almost 3 yrs before the house was sold. We moved to a half acre in rural Cedar & lived there for 2.5 yrs before we split up. I liked Cedar community better. I liked easy access to lake & wilderness while in Youbou though. It was a short 2 minute stroll to locals small beach spot from our backyard.

I hosted some live music parties during my time in Youbou because I love live music 🎶🥰🎶🎸🥁🎙🤘
