Day I of the Camping Trip - Englishman River Falls July 28th

Englishman River Falls

What is holding this tree up?

Really, it had been spotted earlier in the day

 Tessa bought a tent at a charity sale for $15 so we spent $600 on sleeping mats, stoves etc so that we could go camping. Actually it was a lot of fun and since we had the car carting all the camping paraphernalia wasn't hard. Englishman River Falls is near Errington about 45 minutes from Nanaimo. The camp site was quiet well supplied with toilets and water etc. After lunch we walked around the falls (there are upper and lower) for a few hours made supper then walked for an hour or two. Mostly second growth but some old growth trees. Cooking on two propane stoves worked well and the food tasted OK. Tessa's chocolate cake for dessert - haven't had that since Cleveland House holidays with the kids. Next time though I am not going to marinade then freeze - the flavors got rather strong.  The dog was exhausted. Lots of room for the two of us in the tent but lucky couldn't get comfortable because he slipped on mat/sleeping bag. In the end he crawled into the sleeping bag with me.

Relaxing before bed!
