The Big Maples in the ‘highlands’ have joined at last, the rest of Salt Spring Island’s trees.
Spring Camping at Ruckle Park
8:50 a.m. Ruckle Park walk-in Camp Ground
Tidy campers getting the first great weather of the season.
Ruckle Provincial Park is a great place anytime, but particularly nice during an early spring morning. Ocean and mountain views, easy trails, a great place to breathe.
Blackburn Lake on a Spring Morning
8:00 a.m. Blackburn Lake, Salt Spring Island
Blackburn Lake was once known for its proximity to a dump, an organic golf course and clothing optional swimmers.
The dump is now a transfer station, the golf course is history with the land is quickly reverting to its wild state, and the Salt Spring Conservancy now owns about 30 acres bordering the lake. The stunning morning views are completely free.
Exploring at Low Tide
4:30 p.m. Fernwood Beach, just NW of the wharf/pier/dock thingy
A beach a low tide can be a very different place. We get a chance to see what’s resting on the bottom when the water’s not there. Good thing to remember in a boat.
Earth Day 2014
What better way to spend Earth Day, or any day, than discovering a new (to us) loop trail on the slopes of Salt Spring’s Mount Maxwell?
The trail above quickly entered old growth territory and became even more magical. The summit surprised us as it was partially enveloped in cloud. Particularly to the west and north.
