Taxi to the West Coast Trail

So I didn't actually do the trail - but since Bamfield is on the way between Victoria and Comox :o) - I stopped in Nanaimo after nightshift to pick up Suzanne and Krista and we headed to Bamfield.
The road was awful, the weather slightly bad, the restaurant closed, but the campsite was empty so we set up camp, ate  quite edible convenience store food, drank beer and wine and spent 2 hours starting a fire in the rain. The dogs ran amuk... which is what they really prefer, and I love the word. Even if I can't spell it.

The next morning I started the hike with the two intrepid travellers but turned around after a few km because otherwise I was going to end up at the next campsite wondering why it was evening and I had no tent. I took lots of pictures, some of which even turned out. The dogs were not eaten by eagles or cougars and the graders had fixed about half the road for the drive home.


This is Suzanne and Krista walking across the beach on their way to 7 days of   beach, green forests, mud (lots of it) ladders, bridges and tsunamis.....

The trail is definitely back on my list of things to do...  !
