We have been here since October 10th, two months already!!!!   We have been kept busy  with the boat, cleaning, fixing, Bert started to walk every morning for an hour, while i do dishes, clean the boat, take care of Annie , wash my hair and then make coffee.  We have made a bit of a routine like this, Bert has had a hard time not working, he used to work 12 hour days, and all of a sudden he doesnt have to do anything really, just what he would LIKE to do, it took some getting used to.

The area is beautiful, although some folks have mentioned when we say where we are, “oh yes, trees, tress, trees!!!”     But to me that is heaven, the rivers are big, creeks every where, and still some very large cedars and firs and spruce standing, we drove to Alert Bay, stopped at the Marble river, a beautiful area for exploring.  One day we tried to go as far as Holberg, it is mostly a dirt road , well kept, but oh so muddy, around every turn you can expect a racing truck, going with the speed of light , i guess the driver thinking no one else should be there….. At Kain’s lake we found the “shoe tree”, the amount of shoes there would put Walmart to shame, they are piled high, and then go up this old tree, way up!!         They are a tribute to a young man that died , every one, walking the West Coast Trail, leaves their shoes at the tree.
