Wading into Vancouver Island

 Oct 27

Word to the wise - neon orange seasoning on chicken just may be hotter than you thought. Darn near poisoned Linda!


Waders at Cabela’s















Flies at Gone Fishin’.


Groceries…


Oct 28

Reds bakery yummy
















Photo block walk (we walk around a block and take photos to compare)
















Nanaimo Bar chow down















Oct 29

Wandering for Nanaimo River access.

Linda does laundry (with “Adult lounge”)

Beach walk with Eagles (Linda) and a win for Linda at cribbage (finally)

Got mail from Winnipeg. Thanks guys!


Oct 30

Road trip along the Nanaimo River road as far as “second lake”, of four. Logging roads!











Spent six hrs waiting to see a Dr. for two minutes to get a requisition for my bloodwork.


Oct 31

Met “Dill” at Timmie’s on Halloween, he was a real pickle!















Spent more time trying to find access to river.


Linda went to the Eagles cliff trail to see the Eagles and Mushrooms and dead Salmon (in the forest).



















Nov 1

Met local crew to go fishing, but didn’t have required footwear. Still went for lunch with that nice group of guys.


Have spent too much money on fishing gear (i.e. chest waders, then wading boots)… need to start bringing in some catches!













Had fresh Halibut dinner.


Nov 2

Wonderful French toast with raspberry topping.















Walked at two different beaches and found a tidal pool with “squishy stuff” (Linda’s highly technical term for sea anemones and little fish, shrimps, mussels and oysters)





































Topped the walking off with another Nanaimo bar at Serious Coffee cafe.






Loving the brilliant fall colours.















Linda is on a tear at cribbage lately…
