ViolaAnn and I decided it might be good for everyone out there to see some of the earliest pictures of Dave and Bullwinkle, when they first got started on their journey. I got them started out, after Linda(MG99) and her doggie Coooper came out to visit, and drop off Dave and Bullwinkle. Here's Linda with the boys.
And here's Cooper desperately wanting to play with the boys.
The boys checking out my pond. Remember this was last year.!
On our outing into Victoria, we decided to stop in and see Heatherbelle.
She had friends in her office for us to play with!!
Good idea! Keep the pics coming!
After cavorting around with our new friends at Heather's office, we headed to downtown Victoria. Love that Empress Hotel!
Checking out the totem pole in front of the Royal BC Museum.
Wow-this is where they govern BC????
Ah, the Victoria Harbor!! I think this might be where Bullwinkle got his love of water from. At least here, he was far enough away that he couldn't jump into the water!
Hmmm.........this island was named after this guy!!! Must be some important!
Did you know that little ferries like these can do a ballet in the water???
Big bear!!! But warm and fuzzy!
Mile Zero. Beautiful view of the water from our perch here!!!
Bullwinkle getting excited about all the water!
Saltspring Island in the background.
Checking out the beach in Sidney. A bit too fuzzy in the background to see Mount Baker. It looks gorgeous on a clear day.
The boys were lucky enough to meet up with Viola Ann and GGD at B utchart Gardens. They loved it there.
Uh oh!!! More water! Might have to get a leash for Bullwinkle!
The hidden cove. Nice and cool in among the branches.
Check out this scary guy!!! He's brass. So many people have rubbed his nose that some of it is worn off.
Lovely lily ponds. Oh, and lots more water!!! We really had to kep a check on Bullwinkle!
Greaqt for 2 DG members to meet up.
More of the lily ponds. And ViolaAnn of course!
GGD almost lost us in this hedge!!! But the Butchart Garden flowers are so lovely and this entrance was very impressive!
Time to pack up and hit the road. Just another glance at the water. Won't see any ocean for quite some time again!!!
Any of you with pics from the early travels of the boys, please feel free to post them. I think there are a lot of new people here interested in the journey, and we should let them see where the boys have been so far!

GGD, you did a great job, good idea of reposting. Those boys have traveled from coast to coast and then some. Maybe Readers Digest should be following them too.
Linda
I have just a few from the meeting with Glenda at the Butchart gardens and I'll post them a bit later.
Ann
Nice touch .. gives some super ideas to the DGers who have not hosted the TROOP as of yet :o)
~M~
Great idea - I remember some of these shots from last year.
