Thursday 10~~~~ The ocean is real flat this morning, I packed us a nice picnic lunch and we headed across the water for the town of "Lund" BC. This is where Highway 101 from Tijuana, Mexico through the United States to Canada ends, it is the end of no where, no roads go anywhere from here. It is a little hole in the wall fishing port with out much there except a great bakery we bought bread at and a few stores and a lovely old Inn. Population about 70 Kent thought, there is a water taxi that brings people from the islands around there to Lund. It is a beautiful place to live, as there are so many islands in the distance, you see them in 3D without the goofy glasses. I would be totally lost if I had to find our way back to the campground because of all the islands we go by and around. It is a beautiful place and I can see why Kent has been here 3 times now. There are so many beautiful homes on all these islands, some summer homes for people who live in Victoria and Vancouver and some full time people. They Island hop in their boats and go into towns like Campbell River and others to shop and visit.We met a couple who live full time on their boat there and she had picked a 3 gal. bucket full of black berries that she is making into jam on their large boat. I have never seen so many black berry bushes in my life and so many large berries on them. I am freezing some to bring home to make jam.
