Last Day on the Island

Can you believe it?? Today is our last day on the island!! How did that happen? Five months went by beary quickly.

We went for a nice long hike today - on a new set of trails that we found. They look complicated!

At least they are well marked... I think we'll go to the viewpoint!

Yup, that's a lovely view all right!

And it's nice and warm and sunny today as well.

You might think that I am standing on a meadow... well... not quite.

It's a meadow of moss!!


That's because the bedrock is beary close to the surface and nothing else can really grow there. This is the trail... it's easy to follow!

Bye-bye arbutus trees!

And another way-station... where the heck are we? My goodness... we are far from the truck!

Alright people... let's go! Let's sing a song... "We're off to see the Wizard! (la-la-la... la-la-la)"

  4. @Beanie - oh yes!! Now I want to skipping down the trails!

    @Jerry & Ben - Thanks guys! And Happy (belated) Easter to you too.

    @Feronia - Thanks - I like my hiking outfit too. It was super warm too and I almost wanted to take my t-shirt off. But Mama said the sight of a shirt-less bear skipping through the forest humming "We're Off to See the Wizard" might scare the other hikers a bit too much.
