Cat loves her perch by the hot spot.
And so another day begins. Took Suki on a walk on the Juliet trail. There is also a Romeo trail. Sounds like a Shakespeare theme but no...
... there are also an Echo, Tango, Charlie trails as well as  Kilo, Papa, Zulu.
Drove back into Ocean Springs to get one of these.
So we can BBQ and have this at the same time.
While there we picked up fixings for Christmas dinner.
Mini turkeys and little cabbages.
       Aren't they the cutest ever!!!!

And lots of sweet stuff like pies - Pecan and Sweet 🥔.

Port Hardy/Telegraph Cove. Sept 20, 2024

-
This is Telegraph Cove.  Dave described it as a somewhat run down but quaint little village. The name comes from the early 1920's when it was the most northerly telegraph terminal on the Island. In 2006 the whole place was turned into this very tourist place. The houses are all for rent as in hotels.  There is a large lodge just above this site. Also several new campgrounds.  Prices for snacks outraged! None the less we enjoyed the day.                         😘😘😘

We booked a tour for for today's adventure to Cape Scott provincial park. We were picked up at our campsite at 8:45 am and returned at 5:15 pm. The trip in is on a rough logging road. Also, if you meet a logging truck  you need to back upto a pull out spot. Didn't really fancy doing that on our own. This warning was on the road! Apparently set up by loggers with a strange sense of humour.  Our first stop the Scarlet Ibus Pub in Holberg. Holberg is at the head of Holberg Inlet which forms the far end of Quatsino sound. The earliest settlers were Danish who first settled in Cape Scott. They were there from the early 1900's until the 1920's . Most of them had given up by then. There is no longer any trace of them as they built from logs from the area. It had a revival in the 1950 with the building of Holberg RCAF base. At it height hosted a population  of 850. The logging company began to bring in familys and providing them housing during this time. Total population of aro...

Port Hardy/PortAlice. Sept 22, 2024

Today started very slowly. A very long lie in. Several cups of tea enjoyed. Listening to the one and only radio station up here 1240 am. Great music for old folks and no ads. Go figure. Mostly raining or misting. So it seemed like a good day to get some chores done.  Holding tanks dumped and flushed, water tank refilled and muched needed showers taken. The drive to Port Alice is about 50 kms. This road is paved and appears to recently replaced. So smooth! Some fun facts about the place. Port Alice was site of a pulp and paper mill built in 1917. The community was named after the mother of the original owners. It was there for 104 years when it was dismantled in 2021. When the mill closed (not sure when) people left in droves. Real estate prices dropped and houses could be bought for $50,000.  It has bounced back and driving through the village appears relatively affluent. Tried to find out what keeps the economy going but didn't find anything. I can only guess it's logging...
