British Columbia Off the Beaten Path A Guide to Unique Places

Why stay on the main road, when you can go Off the Beaten Path? Whatever you do when you travel, get off the highway. Who needs more bland rest stops and fast food? Get into the heart of things with Globe Pequot's Off the Beaten Path series. Devoted to travelers with a taste for the unique, this easy-to-use guide will help you discover the hidden places in British Columbia that most tourists miss - unsung, unspoiled, and out-of-the-way finds that liven up a week's vacation, a day trip, or an afternoon. Sheep Pasture Golf Course is a par-35 nine-holer with quite a few moving, bleating hazards, as well as panoramic views of the mountains and river. Owner David Jones built the course after years of losing his sheep to predators; he figured if he had two-legged animals walking around the predators would disappear! As well as the living hazards, there's water on the course - but no bunkers "because the sheep dig in" - and a few apple trees. Feel free to pick an apple as you play.Timmermans, Tricia is the author of 'British Columbia Off the Beaten Path A Guide to Unique Places', published 2004 under ISBN 9780762727643 and ISBN 0762727640.
