Years ago we drove through Tweedsmuirs Nat Park and took the ferry to Ocean Falls and BellaBella down to Port Hardy - fabulous family trip. I remember a porcupine asleep near the ferry landing and yes, it was raining. Met the mayor of Ocean Falls as well as the Batman who gave us a tour of a great old abandoned house (with bats in the attic of course). There was a little cafe, near the ferry terminal, run by an old lady - good coffee. Didn't go ashore at Bella Bella because it was dark. We were obviously impressed by the beauty of the area and its isolation. Would love to go back in the other direction if the ferry is still running (or was it the one that sank?)

PS. Has nobody bought Ocean falls yet?
