We moved up to Cousin Bill’s on Thursday afternoon after
Aileen and her friend Bev D went for haircuts in Qualicum and lunch in
Parksville.
On Friday evening we noticed online there were a couple of large
cruise ships working their way south so we went to the pier in Campbell River
to wait for them. It was pretty dark by
the time they arrived so difficult for pictures. It was nice sitting out there watching all
the other boat traffic go by and watching all the people who came out for a
stroll on the pier. The ice cream stand
was doing a good business.
Aileen wanted to go for a drive and do a bit of geocaching
yesterday so we went up past Campbell River and drove up a logging road. We found seven. We had taken lunch fixings so found a nice
quiet side road and sat in our chairs enjoying the peace and quiet of the
forest. Aileen put some ribs in the
crockpot yesterday and had sweet potato salad and what our friends call funeral
salad ready. Bill and Tony came and
enjoyed the feast with us last night.
I went to a car show in Campbell River this morning. There were about 400 vehicles on
display. I saw my cousin Rob and his
family then later chatted with Bill and Tony.
Bill was zipping along on his mobility scooter. I was wishing I had the use of one by then as
my knees were complaining after a couple hours shuffling along on the pavement.
After lunch I took my geocaching pack and drove up by the
Storey Creek golf course. I walked a trail
that went all the way around the outside of the course in the trees putting on
7.11 kms and finding nineteen caches. I
wasn’t long home when it commenced to rain.
Didn’t rain too much but I would have been soaked if I was still
walking. The trail was made by mountain
bikers and I’m very glad I decided to walk as it certainly wasn’t a trail I would
be capable of riding. It would have been
a long way to push my old bike.
Tomorrow we move down to Seal Bay RV Park to participate in
our RV club fall rally. We will be there
until Saturday morning then we will possibly move back here to Bill’s or maybe
Miracle Beach Provincial Park for a few days.
Maybe we will know by Saturday morning.
We sat at the beach in Qualicum the other evening to watch the sunset
This paddle boarder gave me a subject to play with
The sun looked a little angry as it set
Setting sun and a piling
