River Beauty
Still cool, gorgeous and green in a nearby river. A place to be during this drought.
Can you have a drought in a temperate rainforest?
Update July 3, 11 am:
Apparently the answer is yes. It’s official:
VICTORIA – Responding to dry conditions, the Government of B.C. has announced a Level 4 drought rating for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and taken the additional action of suspending angling in streams and rivers throughout southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands due to ongoing low stream flows and warming water temperatures.
…more info at the govt. website.
Hiking Old Baldy Mountain
This view is from the back side of Old Baldy Mountain looking west over the southern half of Shawnigan lake. We’re not at the top yet and this flat spot is a great place to take a photo (aka stopping to catch your breath) as the hike is a steep one. The main vista, from the top is east over the Gulf Islands.
Cooling off by the River
Even though there’s normally a lot more water in this river at this time of year, it’s still a great place to cool off on a hot day. There are interesting rocks to explore, some deep pools and some shady areas.
Window View
Late day view out the camper window while parked alongside the Koksilah River.
Out another window was a very large black bear walking towards us down the middle of the logging road. Fortunately he/she headed off on a trail away from where we’d stopped.
