Mattersville

So in an attempt to spice things up, I went exploring today, by car. There's a radio tower on top of a big hill that I've been skoping out for a while, and thanks to mapquest.ca, I discovered a possible access route. So I drove down this road, expecting it to be a logging road, but it was paved the whole way and led to really big gated community (like 250 acres I think) that is still under construction. So I made my way through it and up some more switchbacking roads, and got really close to the tower, but not quite there, so that mission will have to wait till another day. However, the houses up there (which mysteriously, aren't visible from anywhere else), have the most amazing views I've seen on the island so far. Some of these houses have views of Courtney to Nanaimo, Lasqueti Island, Texada Island, Hornby Island, Denmon Island, and the coast mountains. I tried to take some pics, but the camera I had didn't work. It was really fucking awesome though,a nd it wasn't even that clear of a day. I don't do the whole jealousy scene much, but I seriously envy those fuckers. I'm gonna call the construction manager tomorrow and try to get a job there. It's less than a 20 min drive from my place. Overall, it was a very succesful exploration, and I think it might've helped me climb out of this rut a bit.
