i cannot believe that the iPad again deleted a post i spent over an hour on. when i finished it, i send it by email to my blog and the closed the email app to save battery. because there was no internet connection available, the iPad dropped it. it didn't bother saving it in draft or my outbox. time to look for another option to the ipad. i have no time to reconstruct it now, but will later. in the meantime, here are some photos that tell the day's story.
1- Gigi, Adrian and 15-year old Frankie at Quatse River camp. read my earlier post about their unprecedented journey or check out their cool blog at www.ofpedalsandpaws.com. and here i thought i was on an adventure. you will be amazed.
2- The Market Street Cafe in Port Hardy. best muffins and flax bread this side of Labrador. I stopped in one last time on my way out of town
3- Stopped in Telegraph Cove, where the whale watching business started, but nothing interesting for Leben and Erde and it was raining so we moved on. before moving on, though, i did get a cup of coffee at the coffee cafe there. that coffee put Starbuck's coffee to shame.
4- this island is a logging region. even the trains have the right of way, but you would give it to them even if they did not.
5- the ride from the north to central region is like a drive though a lush, verdant tunnel. 150 miles with really nothing on the road. when it stopped raining, we took a walk in thus lush garden. Saturday i will see what the south island is all about.
6- we drove until 7:15 when it stopped raining and then set up camp in record time at Miracle Beach Provincial Park on the Pacific. we were in the tent by 9:00 after our usual evening meal, then it started to rain again. Lucky us. but I was prepared. no bears in this camp. first time in almost four weeks. i finally learned how to set up camp in the rain.....set up the tarp first.
The weather is expected to be just foul Saturday, rain, wind, etc. I will decide farther on down the road where we spend Saturday night, the west coast of the island or at Victoria, nearby the ferry that will take us to the US.
