Today’s story takes us out west, to British Columbia, Canada. On Vancouver Island, there is a small community called Whiskey Creek on the east side of the island. It has a surf shop, many campsites, outdoor supply stores, and until recently, a burger place called Bigfoot Burgers. It has a bit of an outdoorsy-hippie vibe.
