Winter Salt Spring Splendor

February 7, 2016

Winter Salt Spring Splendor

This somewhat unofficial trail—and by unofficial I mean it’s not marked and you have to hunt for it—is at the very end of Isabella Point Road then left to the end of Maxam Road. And, if you live on the north end of the island (what we used to call 537) you better pack a lunch for the roadtrip there. On the plus side, Cameron and I saw no one, heard only the stream nearby and the soft landing of light rain. The winter wetness illuminated the green of the moss of Mount Tuam Ecological Reserve…

Forest Treasure

Forest Treasure

Strange as it seems I was in this forest on business when I stumbled upon this surprise.
Anyone know the make, model, year?

Moss Trees

Moss Trees

Turning the corner along a new-to-me Salt Spring Island trail yielded this startling view.
More moss bumps, this time growing on trees.
Perhaps this is a metaphor for the startling growth of personal debt in Canada.

Chris Hatfield Trail Part Three

January 13, 2015

Yeo Point via Chris Hatfield Trail

Yeo Point
There’s a nice pebble beach in the bay and a large smooth rock areas at the point. Views extend across to the Channel Islands and to the Beaver Point area. I could hear announcements as a ferry passed several kilometres away. Other than that, the sights and sounds were perfect.

OK, that’s it for the Chris Hatfield Trail. As mentioned earlier, the built structures and other surprises (which I did photograph…) remain for you to discover as you walk another of Salt Spring Island’s interesting hiking trails.
