Clinton - Snowy Highway...

This picture, taken on the last day of the year (2016-12-31), was never really supposed to be. As it happened, the province was inundated with snow storms, and BKR had to get back to Quesnel. I thought I'd accompany her on her snowy journey. All was well on our trip north and we had worried needlessly about impassable roads. We were making good time, and could see ourselves making Quesnel before it was too late in the day. That is, until a traffic accident just south of Cache Creek sent us on a detour through Merritt and then through Kamloops. By the time we arrived at Cache Creek, via the detour, it was late and discretion suggested an overnight stay in Clinton.

Quesnel - Riverfront Trail

It's May (2016-05-08), so there's a good chance we're in Quesnel. And, when in Quesnel, why not take a stroll on Riverfront Trail? The May sun was warming things up and Spring was everywhere.

Mayne Island - Georgina Point Lighthouse Park

Shortly after disembarking at the Village Bay ferry terminal - and being unsuccessful in our search for a place to eat - we opted for an exploration of the park at the Georgina Point Lighthouse. If I were a permanent resident of Mayne Island, I'm sure I'd be a frequent visitor to this place. (2016-09-25)

Sointula - Dockside Details

After breakfast at the little (only perhaps?) bakery by the ferry terminal, we were off to a little Sointula sightseeing. While the fishing fleet on Malcolm Island may not be as large as in days of yore, the government docks and the many boats in Sointula still seemed fairly large (compared to Nanaimo, anyway). As usual, I find it hard to resist dockside details. <Click!>

Telegraph Cove: All's Quiet in February

After a couple of sunny February days on Malcolm Island (Sointula), our drive home took us to rainy Telegraph Cove. We were quite surprised; there was much more to see than we had anticipated. In fact, we've decided another trip, in warmer weather, should be planned.
