Comox County

Thinking that maybe bike riding wouldn’t make John’s leg hurt so much Tuesday afternoon we rode through the town of Comox with plans to go out on Goose Spit. Unfortunately the ride had lots of hills and by the time we got to the top of the hill leading down to the spit, John was in too much pain to add one more hill and his battery was down below 20%.  We turned around. A different route back through Comox helped us see more of this village.

Immediately after parking our bikes we got in the car and drove back out to Goose Spit.  A lot of folks were enjoying the rocky but shallow beach on one side of the spit while others were sailing or paddle boarding on the other side.  

Today I did laundry while John did some minor chores around the RV then we drove the 10 minutes to Cumberland for a short walk around town.  John drove up Cumberland Road towards the lake where people lined the road with parked cars while fishing in the river.  On the other side of the road were the remnants of a Chinese village and a Japanese Village where immigrant workers/miners were housed.
