Salmon Point

 Salmon Point beach. Accessible by walking the trail by the RV resort and coming out to the rather hidden lookout point. Absolutly pristine beach. We love it here. About a 25 minute drive , depending on traffic, south of Flannel City ( which most of you know, by now, is Campbell River, B.C.) I sound like  a tourist infomercial........
 Being accosted at the start of the trail into the sanctuary.
 Love the field and pastures ....used to be an old farm/orchard.
 Finding the trail down onto the rocky Beach.  Usually there is no one there. Today there was just us there............
 All's quiet...looking North towards Quadra Island......Flannel City ( excuse me, Campbell River is in the distance)
 Sailing, only a few sailboats out on a perfect day. Not too hot, not too cold................kind of windy.
 A painted ship on a painted sea.................
 Gettin blown about .......important to not topple over into the sea.........
 At the uprooted tree,which seems to have gone and turned itself around this year.....
 All of us....Dale, Morgan,Emma, Susan, Liz and yours truly, trying to beat the self timer.......

 Made it to the top of the uprooted tree....................
 Dale struggling to open the bottle of water at the restaurant...........At Salmon Point you can sit under the pavilion to eat and watch the ocean.Just make sure you make reservations and ask for the patio. Best view.
 Water on a long day.................
 And for added entertainment you can watch the clouds in the sunset............
Huge.....................................This is the end of your infomercial. .........
