Day 26 - Long Beach Campground

What a glorious morning!

Blue sky, nice and warm. Just after Nanaimo, on the way to Port Alberni, we visited MacMillan Provincial Park and wandered through a utopian-looking forest in our yellow rubber boots. It looked as if nobody had touched this forest for hundreds of years. The oldest Douglas Fir was about 800 years old. Huge trunks laid criss-cross on the ground and were covered with soft moss. The largest tree had a diameter of 9 feet and was said to stand a good chance to live until the year 2,100.

Tonight we camp at Long Beach Campground, just before Tofino. What a great location! I caught a Rainbow trout earlier and am grilling it in the fire pit.Read more
