Hey, thanks for posting the links.
I've been there, to Lund, BC. 
What stood out for me though was Saltry Bay.
I had to wait there for an hour or so for the ferry, it was a summer day,
early 90's ....it was the quietest, most laid back, pristine and beautiful
place you could imagine.  

So I'm impressed, that you pointed out where it really ends, and  that I
didn't really know where hwy 101 officially ends on the north end., since
I've been up and down every inch of it many times.

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
