Big Trees between Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan

Big Trees between Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan - Places I've Wandered

Leaving behind the Bridge exploring bathroom break we continue to put miles between Port Renfrew and ourselves
From S&G Day1

We encounter a decision and, being told about really big trees up a gravel road to the right, we go right.

where we find a logging road in great shape

and cross another bridge

to go around another corner and discover

a giant maple tree

with cling-ons

that wants a hug

a big hug

so we headed back in the direction of the parked Subaruby and towards the giant spruce

Then with a goodbye to the poor red alders who were missing out, it was time head further along on our backroad journey
From S&G Day1

we're on our way up the backroad in search of some stop sites and rest, waterfalls and adventure :)


Till then,
See you around, ;)

These are amazing - I especially love the part about slipping into someones brain - these are fantastic! I will shoot some birds today - maybe not see through their nostrils but get close to them! In Montreal we have a plethora of pigeons and not so many crows but I will see what I can do!
