11:30 a.m. Salt Spring Saturday Market
Getting a Ganges parking spot was like winning a lottery at this week’s market. The farm/food section was doing a roaring business. So good to see. That reminds me, time to get a garlic braid.

Outside Mouat’s Home Hardware.
Yup, there’s a cord on that phone.
Creek Bed
During a recent long solo hike, I heard odd splashing sounds on the trail ahead. I surprised two large black ravens (all three of us startled…).
The ravens had somehow found water in this dry ravine.
Yesterday on the Pacific Circle Highway
1:00 pm on the Pacific Circle Highway just before it was closed to traffic. And just before I turned tail for Salt Spring Island…
A 135 hectare fire 1 kilometre from Lizard Lake (27 kilometres SW of Cowichan Lake) was discovered Wednesday and the highway was closed to traffic. Here’s the BC Wildfire Service link for updated info. This is a suspected human-caused fire. Argh.
Elk Falls
This may not look all that scary to you. But it sure was to us. What you don’t see is the deceivingly calm water hole just 20 metres upstream (there’s a sign that says no lifeguard on duty!) And the other thing you don’t see—is a very large waterfall just 10 metres downstream. There have been fatalities here.
This spring a 60 metre suspension bridge—65 metres above the canyon floor was opened to the public. Also new is a viewing platform at edge of the canyon wall. The platform provides an unimpeded view of the falls. Some snapshots below:
