Last Daytrip: Salt Spring Island to Ucluelet

November 3, 2015

Larry Lake, Vancouver Island

With a sudden forecast of one wonderful weather day at the coast, a final trip in the Four Wheel Camper became the agenda. I left Salt Spring Island in the morning rain. The rain was heavy with significant fog heading north to Nanaimo but began to clear as I headed west. Instead of a non-stop race to the coast,  I made photo stops in the sunshine at Larry Lake (above) and at Kennedy River (below).

Kennedy River

So, the 7am ferry from Salt Spring, two comfortable photo stops, and lunch in Ucluelet at noon. Then an afternoon hike on the Wild Pacific Trail. And a late afternoon check-in at a Green Point campsite (in Pacific Rim National Park)—with an ocean view.

Many ‘Salt Springers’ admit to having an obsession—a need—to visit the Ucluelet to Tofino area of Canada’s west coast. And I’m one of them. Stay  tuned for the next two photos of the day; both are from Long Beach in Pacific Rim Park. And then we’ll get back to regular Salt Spring Island programming.

    Just returned from Tofino and a stay at Long Beach Lodge Resprt. The roaring ocean and surf is always spectacularly this time of year. Looking forward to seeing your photos.

      Just a couple on the beach taken late day coming. Still lovely in any weather. And interesting when you are the only one on the beach, long after the sun goes down…
