Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring is one of the most popular of the Gulf Islands, easily reached by ferry and home to a diverse community of folks, with a heavy artistic and craft bias. There seems to be some bi-polar nature to the island, the influx of second home money having led to a lot of very wealthy part time residents contrasting with the more bohemian group. I have the feeling that leads to some interesting politics on the island, but it's easy to see which side drives the economy of the place. It was fun to stay for a few days, being on the water and making the most of the little village of Ganges. Very arty.
