One of the Views on the way out to Friendly Cove.

Friendly Cove is where Captain Cook first met the First Nations peoples of Nootka sound. There is still one family who still lives there and takes care of the land. Every year a campout happens there and everyone finds it refreshing to be there. It is also called Yuquot which means where the four winds blow. During the summer there is a boat that goes out there twice a week for 1.5 hrs to 3 hrs depending on the day. It takes about 2 hrs each way but worth the trip here are some pictures taken on my trip out.......

Gold River Forest Fire

So we had some excitement this summer, This is a pic of the smoke on the hill right in the village of Gold River. The fire came within 1.5 KM of the village and not closer.

The Pictures of the flames are not clear until you expand them .......

Tin Wis Resort in Tofino

This is the Tin Wis Resort near Tofino. At one point it was a residential school in which the First Nations People have converted to a great resort.
