Sunshine Coast, Day Two

Next morning
swim



After breakfast (oatmeal & tea)

I went off to explore some trails



Old logging tracks

Stayed in the in the woods till noon



Then headed down to the coast



What a day

Great roads

Ended up in Garden bay



Got hungry... again



Found some shade for the

"Good boy"

to have a rest in



Did a left turn



And, found myself on a patio overlooking the bay

Wow

"sucks to be me"



This was growing through it



After lunch

back on the road

So much to see



The Arbutus Tree



Grows only within a small corridor on the B.C. coast



It sheds it's bark in summer

The new bark underneath turns red in winter



These were growing every where



Amazing



Then north to Earls Cove



This is where you catch the ferry for upper the Sunshine Coast



Saw this sign



No lawn... just this



Living here you may come up with alternate meanings for words like

"lawn"



And just over the fence



I was tempted to gear up and go for a scub

The pace here was too



Hectic

So, I went off in search of new places



There were a few of these giants standing alone



All that is left of a once great forest



Then came across this!!



What the hell!



That is a size 10.5 boot!

Maybe he lives here?



Quite modern



What does he drive?

Well wonder no more



A Ford LTD

Stylin



Back at the lake

a short nap



Oh!
better hurry



Just in time for the...

Dragon Fly races



Still lots of light

You know what I did



This is how you spell
Fun



I followed it to the top of a ridge



This route down is way beyond my riding abilities



Hello




Shadows getting longer



Just time for a swim

And a fire



The night sky



Another swim



Then bed
