Salt Island Springs

Kerry and Alistair took Friday off, so we packed , loaded bikes onto the car and drove to the free parking lot near Tewwasin Ferry. On the ferry we played the music game which was a lot of fun. We are becoming pros at leaving the ferry first. The island has some punchie climbs, which is hard work with a full bike. We went to the camp site first which was just outside Ganges on a hill! Then we did a little ride to see a bit of the island, which included St Mary’s lake. We went to town and bought supper, climbed the hill and back to camp. Had a lovely evening. Next morning we packed up early. Went back down to town to have breakfast , look at the market and bought lunch/supper. Went back to camp to repack the bikes. Then we headed out to Ruckle Park to the next camp site. On the way we stopped at a little bay to chill, make a sand castle and have lunch. The ride to the camp was full of stops looking at all the honesty box farm stores. We also stopped at a cheese farm. The new camp site was on the shore. Just so beautiful. We set up our tents and went for a little walk. I had a swim, the water was very “fresh” kerry and Ali had a friend who joined us for dinner. We had a lovely evening watching the moon rise. On Sunday we left early and had a super ride back to Ganges, where we had coffee and breakfast and caught the ferry home. A truly beautiful weekend.Read more
