We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last Saturday we decided to revisit a beach on the east side of the island that we only discovered one day last year. The location is not very far to the south of Pocahontas Bay but the hike to it along old logging roads takes about one and a half hours. It was quite a warm day and it was pleasant to be walking in the shade of the forest for much of the way, less comfortable in the full sun where the road crossed a recent clearcut area. The view from the beach where we sat on the logs for lunch looks across Malaspina Strait to Stillwater with the very distintive surge tower on the old hydro generating station penstock. The massive pipe running down from the dam on Lois Lake can be seen where it passes under the main road between Westview and Saltery Bay.
My photo was taken at our new beach, Tower Beach, and has one of the adult eagle pair guarding the very large nest near the top of a big snag.
