It’s that time

May 9, 2016

'campground'
1:05 p.m. San Juan Beach
It’s that time of year: short excursions exploring the areas around Salt Spring Island. And, as previously mentioned, often without any kind of internet connection. Which is a good thing I think. But this means there will be more frequent interruptions in postings on this website though October.

This is San Juan Beach, at Port Renfrew. The beach is well exposed to the ocean and thus the pile-up of logs. The logs afford some protection from the wind—and great spots to enjoy the sun and read a book.

Below is a photograph of part of the beach. The camper is visible, but I’m not sure you can pick it out on every size viewing screen (1/3 in from the right and halfway down the image):

The Trail

The Trail

Behind the scenes I’m still sorting through a goodly number of photos from our brief getaway to Ucluelet. I think this one is interesting because it’s from a hiker’s perspective. It shows much of what the Wild Pacific Trail looks like.

From the sunny spot on the trail you have an unobstructed view out to the ocean. Notice how even, wide and well maintained the trail is. Notice too what the prevailing wind has done to the bushes at this spot where the wind funnels from the open ocean, through a bay and up the slope.

Looking North along the Wild Pacific Trail

Looking North along the Wild Pacific Trail
What’s missing in the photo above is the warm spring sun on your skin and sound of distant waves crashing 10 or more meters into the sky.

Coastal Evening

Evening at the Coast
9:05 pm on a moody west coast evening
I climbed up on an enormous bolder optimistically waiting for the stunning sky that did not materialize. Still, it was a good view for someone playing king-of-the-castle-for-one.

Hiking the Wild Pacific Trail

April 27, 2016

Hiking the Wild Pacific Trail
It was a rare t-shirt weather couple of April days on the west coast—enough to entice us to stay one more.
Here during a hike along the Wild Pacific Trail, I stopped to watch the swells play through the shoreline rocks. Once again, time well spent!
