Morning at Sahalie Falls, Washington

 

[cascadiabound]

I was offline on a trip in north regions of Cascadia, sailing and boating with friends and others. So I will post a few some pics from my trip around Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. We were lucky to go sailing for part of it and then have a kayaking bit on our own. But we had to be back just in time for both of us to teach....so the trip was not as long as we wished it could be.
Some questions I may not be willing to answer on an open forum, but have at it.

Hiya Cb. Is there one of the nicest campsite?

Hiya Cb. Is there one of the nicest campsite?

We actually had a lot of good campsites on this trip. When we were kayaking...which was the longest portion of the trip, we camp in undeveloped wilderness sites usually places with just enough room for one tent. When we can, we like to camp at the upper portion of the beach, however we had very high tides, especially, at night, so it was necessary to find tent sites in the trees above the highest high tide line.

To avoid bears and cougars, we prefer very small islets on the outer coast. The portion of the coast we were on has many many miles of very rocky and inhospitable coastline for landings, so the few places where sand and shell beaches form are like gold!
