My fellow fire averse people of Campbell River

Listen. I understand that the cave people who I'm talking about probably can't read, but like ... Maybe let's be a bit smarter about our activities in the Beaver Lodge lands?

I was just riding my bike down the rail trail and passed through a thick cloud of smoke. It took me zero seconds to see a pillar of smoke in the woods about 20 feet away, so I called the fire department and waited for them so I could bring them to the fire.

If you're gonna sneak into the woods to smoke, be smarter about it. If you're doing other brain dead stuff in the woods that could start a fire, ask yourself "has it been really hot and dry?" And if the answer is yes, go do your arson or whatever on the beach.

And If anybody wants to start defending smokers or dipshits with lighters in the woods because "mOsT wIlDfIrEs ArE fRoM lIGhTnInG"... Just find something more productive to do with your time.

Bird Noises

I am wondering if I am just easily irritated, so asking for advice before I complain. I have an elderly neighbor who is playing perigrine falcon noises from 6am to almost 10pm at night. At first, it was every 1.5 minutes and he's now switched it to 2.5 but it's making me insane, especially on days I work from home. It's so loud I can hear it across the street with all of my windows closed. My husband approached him this weekend to let him know it was annoying, but his answer was that the birds stealing his cherries are even more annoying. I get that, but at what point do your own needs outweigh the needs for a relaxing outdoor environment? If I'm just being a perimenopausal hag let me know, I get easily annoyed these days! 😃

UPDATE! Bylaw came by and confirmed I was not crazy and that the sound was totally inappropriate! They spoke with my neighbor and the threat of a $250 fine everyday if he didn't comply has resulted in blissful silence. I'm shocked at how fast they dealt with the situation.

If (when) Rod The Bod Brind'Amour wins Lord Stanley, what are the chances he brings it up to CR for some celebrations? Parade? etc...

Missing Camera Strathcona Park

Posting this as a hail mary for a missing Nikon Coolpix camera lost at Strathcona Park. We were at Ralph Rivers campsite and likely lost it there or around auger point. Would really like the photos on the SD card as there are a lot of memories there! PLEASE let me know if you find it and I will pay to have it shipped back. Could also have fallen out of a pocket possibly at a Campbell river gas station.

how bad is the neighborhood on 8th/by the EDM school

my gf and i are literally JUST about to move there and while we were moving a couple things in today a neighbor mentioned one of the houses up the road is a big drug house and they're constantly getting broken into.

i like my stuff and would like to keep it. i do a lot of gardening and was planning to have pots of plants outside, and my gf is really worried someone is gonna bust in and let out our inside cat by accident.

anybody know much about the area? should we be concerned? anything we should do?

Hello all!

Posting on behalf of a friend who's just moved out to campbell river, and is looking for a somewhat decent/structurally sound second hand cars.

She seems to be hitting quite a few dead ends at the moment so I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone who was in the market to sell at the moment.

Thanks in advance and she's loving her time out there :)
