This one is real, and real crazy. I purchased, by biding, 100 + acres, 3,000 miles away, in Bella Coola, BC, Canada. Still own it, but tried to sell. It's in the Great Bear Rain Forest. Hwy 20 to Bella Coola road is one way ending at the docks there. You can put you car or RV on it, and freight comes in on the ferry through the Inside Passage. Hwy 20 goes over, is rock, messy stuff, not black top and one lane in some places, going over Heckman Pass. Hwy 20 also called Freedon Hwy & The Hill. You Tube has it. Over three yrs Indians called Nuxalk, built a cabin for me on north side of Bella Coola. Everything else on "other side" north side including the Hwy and few stores in tiny town. River is Glacier Fed and at times there is no way to cross the river due to rising river, or rains when nothing but whole giant trees are floating down river. I was at cabin when the river did this 24 hrs day & night for three days. Been there 3 years in a row. I haven't been back in 3 yrs and I have zero idea if cabin is still there. Only had two so called friends while there, paying them to built my cabin taken 3 yrs to finish. One was regular guy, liked pot. Other a Nuxalk (new hawk) and he liked pot and drinking. Not been in touch since I left 3 yrs ago. On the one hand I do not want to know about anything there, including cabin, in case the cabin has been destroyed. The Nuxalks did not like my different boats I brought. They "only" float one way down the river, and use nets to fish for very large fish. Nuxalk use nothing but wood paddles, and wood boat they build themselves. I took a wonderful small wood stove there last time, (100 lbs - $375) but heard it was stolen. My times there, last time, with that heater, and view, was like a dream. It's also toooo dangerous being alone there like I was every time.
