Our first official adventure with my cousin started with us inspecting the new Cabela’s store in nearby Abbotsford.
I had never heard of Cabela’s until one of the many mass shootings in the States was linked to Cabela’s as suppliers of the AR15 guns involved.
That being said, I wanted to check it our after a new found interest in hunting.
Essentially it’s the same as Bass Pro Shop with perhaps a bigger focus on hunting as opposed to fishing.
Still pretty cool to see.
Afterwards, we travelled to Bridal Veil falls. What an amazing sight.
As you can see, there is a sign warning from climbing past the area, with a threat of fines. Clearly, people can’t read.
Screw the rules.
The view from the Cheam Wetlands across the highway.
Afterwards we went to an amazing British store and museum. We’ve been to many British stores across Ontario (to celebrate our Scottish heritage), but we’ve never been in a store like Dickens before.
Initially when you walk in, its pretty standard, except for a cool candy shop laid out like a scene from the old Willy Wonka movie (stock photo – sorry!).
However, once you stepped past the initial storefront, you were greeted with amazing themed rooms, bakeries, diners and antiques. Just phenomenal, especially for a history nerd like me.
Afterwards, we ordered some amazing pizza, the kids went to the community pool and the adults got done-dickered.
Notes:
- Nature in BC is amazing. Waterfalls, trees, landscapes like nowhere else.
- No one cares about the rules in BC.
- There is a swank British community in Chilliwack. Amongst all of the Indian farmers, temp workers, and Asian civilians.
