It seemed like a good day on Sunday to drive up the coast to the town of Campbell River. There are several beautiful beaches along the way one of which was named Miracle Beach. We stopped at a rest area to stretch and an older gentleman drew us into a long but friendly conversation. While the men talked I took pictures of a driftwood whale and wood carvings. We strolled around town before heading onto their fishing pier. A fisherman informed us that the pink salmon are starting to gather at the mouth of rivers for their annual migration to spawning grounds just waiting for the rains to fill the rivers.
Monday found us traveling up to Mount Washington, a local ski destination with hiking trails in the Strathcona Provincial Park. We found a nice hike through the woods and around a mountain pond. John’s leg was bothering him so it was a short hike. With a picnic lunch in the back seat we were determined to find a shady spot to eat but ended up on the mountain top, in the sun and wind, watching the zip line and mountain bikes.
On the return trip we passed by a very popular spot called Nymph Falls where multitudes of folks were gathering to swim and sunbathe, hike and explore.
