We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we hiked from the Hydro East turnoff near Bell Farm along the road that runs north to Pocahontas Bay. It was a cool, windy day with some snow on the ground so we were thankful of the protection of the forest while we were walking and at lunchtime. My photo this week was taken on a recent midweek hike when we headed south past Favada Point on the northwest coast of Texada and had lunch near a large beaver swamp on the old logging road down to tiny Davis Bay. The sea lions have begun to gather again as they did last winter on the rocks and islands between Favada Point and Maple Bay. It was nice to be able to get extra close to them this time and I was able to get some closeup shots of a small group of males that seemed very relaxed about having us visiting with them.

Male sealions near Favada Point. The darker ones are the more common California and the light one a larger Steller's Sea Lion.
