VH3 Run 621st - Ice Breaker's History Voyageur Run, July 5, 2014
 Ice Breaker takes the center of the circle to explain why it's a 'voyageur history' run. |
 He says stop at all the HH, where he will provide a bit of Victoria history. Though the first run he hared was the Eiger Sanction Bear Mtn Run in 2013, this is his first solo haring attempt. |

 Hash Flash didn't include the text of the plaque, so was probably only interested in the image of James Bay, which is now buried under towers, Douglas Street, and the The Empress Hotel.

Click her for another photo of James Bay In this photo are the shallow inlet James Bay named for James Douglas (we'll get to him later), now encompassing the present site of the Empress Hotel, Victoria Conference Centre, and Crystal Garden. The wooden piling bridge was built in 1859. At the south end of the bridge are the colonial administration offices for the Colony of Vancouver Island - moved by James Douglas from the Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Victoria. The series of buildings designed by H.O. Tiedemann were dubbed the Birdcages because their bell-cast roofs, half-timbering and ornate balconies gave them an exotic appearance (also completed in 1859). They were replaced in 1898 by Francis Mawson Rattenbury's Parliament Buildings. . |
