TIME FOR AN UPDATE.

 I thought it was time to check in and let you know we're still around.  I've been geocaching a few times.  Aileen and I have checked out a few ocean views in the area and have enjoyed visiting with Anne and John.  Today we're hoping to visit Chris and Gord.   We'll catch up with Donna and Ken later in the week as they are in Oliver visiting friends who live about ten kms from our place.

The weather has been quite nice with mostly foggy starts to the day then the sun coming out.  22C has been about the highest temperature unlike what most of the rest of the province is experiencing.  The morning temperatures range from 11-14C so cool for sleeping.

We came across these elk while geocaching.



While geocaching one day we were up in the clouds.

This slug was having a nice meal on this mushroom.

A beach artifact.  It's a front hub of a big truck either logging or gravel.  The wheel fits on the left and you can see the leaf spring on the right.  Not sure why there was a complete truck disposed of on the beach.  I guess eventually the ocean will disintegrate it.

The ferry from Port McNeill approaching Sointula with Mt. Stephens looming in the background.

Lots of fungi on the trees in this area.

I saw this along the beach the other night.  There was a huge old stump that became a nurse stump.  There are at least four trees growing out of it.

We stopped here at the narrow section of Mohun Lake to get a geocache.

An old railway trestle that crossed Mohun Lake.

Foxgloves love the climate of the upper island.
