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.

Hiking Old Baldy Mountain

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.

Rapidly Changing View

January 16, 2015

Fog on St. Mary Lake, Salt Spring Island

If I had a regular morning commute, my route would pass this ever-changing scene on St. Mary Lake.
Much of Salt Spring Island’s water comes from this lake. Certainly a resource worth protecting.
And the changing view is priceless.
