HAVING FUN ON THE NORTH END OF VANCOUVER ISLAND.

 We've been in the Port McNeill area for a week and a half and I've been geocaching several times with BIL John F.  We've taken the car, his truck and his side by side at various times.  I also did maintenance on the seven geocaches I placed up here last year.  We haven't visited any of my cousins yet but do plan on it.  The past few days have been pretty wet at times and the temperature is much lower than at home.  There has been lots of fog lately too which is different than we're used to most places we go.  We have another geocaching expedition planned for tomorrow.

Mine Lake south of Woss.

The Oktwanch River Valley heading toward Woss up through the Nimpkish Valley.  I first drove that road in 1967 heading to a new job in Port Hardy.  Muchalat Lake is just out of the photo to the left.

Muchalat Lake, there is a nice campground at this end of the lake.  We were here 2,000 feet above the lake looking for a geocache.

On the other side of the ridge from the lake looking to the south east, I think.  Mt. Colonel Foster is in the far range.

Spider alert, small one next!

Found some eagles at Beaver Cove.


This immature bald eagle is drying off.


There was a geocache inside this old Western Red Cedar.  If you look closely you will see John in there.

Inside the big tree looking up.  It had partly burned many years ago.

Slime Mold.  Food for slugs and various insects and beetles.
