Crossing the Straits of Georgia back to the British Columbia mainland, on yet another bright sunny day

Our membership park just east of Vancouver has the most beautiful pool setting that I've ever used. We spent a week here and met up with Florida Pickle ball friends who were returning from summer in Alaska.

Bob at the local Blueberry farm. We picked 2 buckets of delicious berries

The Trans Canada highway is amongst the most scenic we've ever driven.

The town of Revelstoke has a pretty setting overlooking this glacier mountain and we had a good view of it from our campsite.

Over Labor Day weekend we camped at this quiet campground with nice mountain views and within easy walking distance to a glacier river flowing over a rocky riverbed.

This was the most scenic lunch stop ever. Even Bob agreed to eat outside.

The Trans Canada Highway going east. The sign warns of an Avalanche tunnel coming up, which protects the highway in the winter.

Going south, we stopped a Radium Hot Springs for several days at another nice mountain campground.

Kootenay National Park, just outside of Radium Hot spring, where we spent a day to see the sights.

Heading south into Montana, just as the there is a hint of snow on the mountain tops.

After leaving our Pacific campsite, where this eagle made it's home, we drove north following the Olympic Peninsula to the lumber town of Forks.

A day trip took us to the Hoh rain forest to walk the trails through the lush greenery...

....and checked out the big trees. These are Douglas fir and can be more than 200 feet tall and 8-10 feet in diameter.

These sea stakes are typical of the pacific coast along Washington.......

...and Huge logs strewn the beach.

The drive up Hurricane Ridge into the Olympic mountains was spectacular with a nice hike at the top. One sight as great as the next.

Bob talks with a motor home couple while we all wait to board the ferry from Port Angeles, Washington to Victoria, Vancouver Island

Successfully loaded on the ferry.

Victoria is the Provincial capital and has a spectacular harbor with the Hotel and Parliament buildings alongside.

The town of Chemainus has beautiful town murals. Flowers are everywhere....on roadways, parks, bridges, gardens.

Qualicum Beach, which is the only beach that we've ever seen that has snowy mountains behind it. We walked the boardwalk which followed the shore for miles.

There is only one road that goes to the Pacific side of Vancouver island over a very scenic mountain pass and arrives at this rugged shoreline. we spent the day hiking the shoreline and seeing the fishing villages.

Typical North west harbor surrounded by snow capped mountains. So different from the east coast waterways.

The most northern stop was Campbell River overlooking Desolation Sound .

Of course we had to check out the Nanaimo harbor which has a very scenic waterway surrounded by mountains.

A provincial park offered a great walk along the little Qualicum river.

Our last stop on the island was in Nanaimo with our campsite overlooking the harbor through the trees.
