Day 17 to day 19, Wednesday June 6 to Friday June 8

We spent the last three days in Campbell River being spoiled by our friends Jim and Jeannie. This bed and breakfasting could dissuade us from camping in future. If we had more friends and relatives throughout the continent this could well be true.

We caught up on families and friends and did some touristing around Campbell River including driving up to Mount Washington to check out the little resort area. Unfortunately, we are just on the cusp of the season so we could not take the ski lift up to the top of the mountain since it was undergoing maintenance for the coming summer tourist season. There was still a little snow and the resort area and the mountain top was covered in clouds.

We also hiked out to the relatively new suspension bridge at Elk Falls. Lovely sight and the bridge is well built to latest standards. Of course, latest standards include wire mesh sides that are at least five or more feet high - way overdone! Everything must be done to protect people from themselves. I get a little sick of the our Nanny culture.

Pictures have been a little lacking of late.

On Friday we headed back to Victoria and arrived well in time for dinner with Brenda, Francois and Tricia's cousin AK and uncle George. Great dinner provided yet again by B&F and we had a nice visit with the rellies.
