After
staying a couple of days longer at Cousin Bill’s than originally planned, we
moved up to Cluxewe Campsite near Port McNeill this past Wednesday. We had a great time at Bill’s and had many
shared tasty meals on the patio (sorry Charlie) with the nice warm weather. Bill hosted a barbeque last Sunday and there
were nine of us present. There were
three large and very yummy desserts so it took a couple of hard days for Bill
and me to diminish the leftover desserts.
I did a bit
of geocaching on my bike from Bill’s and on Tuesday, I took the car and went
north of town and had a pretty good day.
I cached and did lots of walking until about 2 pm when it just got too
warm so I went up to Robert’s Lake and had a refreshing dip in a quiet section
of the lake.
We had a
good trip up to Cluxewe on Wednesday with Aileen bringing the car while I towed the ATV
trailer. With the sunny weather, the
scenery looked very nice. The forecast
was for rain to begin today and it did so the temperature is much lower which
makes some of our team happy. One of us
would still prefer to be in tee shirt and shorts, though. I did a bit of caching on my bike yesterday
then last night and the night before, brother in law John and I were out
caching late, needing to use flashlights both nights before finishing. Today has been a quiet day other than going
to town this morning. We did a load of
laundry at Aileen’s sister Anne’s then played a game of Fish with John and the
two grand kids. We picked up a few
groceries and I stopped to chat with my Cousin Donna at her workplace.
We are
probably not staying here too long as the campsite is fairly booked for the
summer months and not having a fixed plan in place didn’t allow us to make
prior reservations. We got a site next
to John and Anne’s trailer the first night but it was booked starting
tonight. When I found another site close
by that would allow us to stay until next Thursday, we moved yesterday rather
than waiting for today, not wanting want to move in the rain if we didn’t have
to. We’ll see what the weather is doing
next week to decide on whether to find another spot here or move elsewhere.

I popped into Kelsey Bey on Tuesday and it was quite windy. This is a crew boat making its way back to port.
This does not look like fun to me
