People trapped north of Vancouver due to a large rock slide transfer their belongings from a boat to car in Porteau Cove, British Columbia August 1, 2008. The rock slide that happened earlier in the week has blocked the main road between Vancouver and the ski resort of Whistler forcing people to use boats to get around the slide. The road, which will be the main route to Whistler during the 2010 Winter Olympics Games, will be closed for several days. REUTERS/Andy Clark (CANADA)
