North Vancouver Island

North Vancouver Island was empty and a bit rainy too. As you see we found a nice camping spot under a shelter. The tree was dedicated to God as a sign said ' give Jesus your Soul'. But we rather kept our shoes for hiking instead!



















Also a lot of logging on the island and these devastated harvest fields are the results. Glad to see that there are some BIG trees left as we found them in Cape Scott Provincial Park.
























































The gravel roads are used for logging and we hit a tire very bad so we needed to get a new one.






Cape Scott Park is the most North part of the island with beautiful sandy beaches







Some other pictures are taken in Campbell River at the harbor where we stopped for fish and ships. Bram loves it!






Be prepared for the unexpected. How is that best done???

Impressions of the West Coast Trail.

West Coast Trail 2011 Vancouver Island in British Colombia, Canada.
We spend 7 nights of hiking and camping through wet and muddy forest and beautiful beaches. 8 days breakfast lunch and dinner in our backpacks, that was a huge amount of food! We saw lots of wildlife in the see, as well as in the forest and in the sky. A great experience that we have never seen and done before. Lucky we had some good weather! Here are some pictures of our adventure.
