Ah, the one up near Black Creek. Not much to do up there.

It's only about ten miles north of Courtenay/Comox it's not like it's up around Port Hardy or anything.

I guess it depends what you need to do for a living. Looks a nice location, but as I said not a heck of a lot up there. About midway between Port Hardy and Victoria.
