Yes, geocaching takes one to some pretty spots. This past Thursday John and Anne drove down from Port McNeill and we drove up from Errington to meet at Menzies Bay. We all piled into the CRV and headed out the logging road. We found over forty caches and had a few that we couldn't find.
The area is rich in lakes and several lakes are used as a circular canoe route. We had lunch at the takeout spot on one little lake where they have a 200 meter portage to the next lake. We sat in our chairs and watched the process and visited with a nice couple and their son and daughter in law.
Aileen and Anne mostly visited and watched the dog while John and I flailed about in the bush. One cache John found hadn't been found in five years. When the cache was placed back in 2014 this was a new logging slash. In the nine years since the trees have grown and the understory plants were like a jungle with wild blackberry and ferns forever tangling your legs. Leather gloves were great for protecting my hands from the prickles.
We've managed to see all six of my siblings currently here at home but have missed Charlie and Sheila who will return after we have moved down to Cousin Neil and Carol's in Duncan on Monday. We also got to see several RV friends. Some of them we hadn't seen in four years.
These photos were again all taken with my phone.
