Alberni Valley - Victoria Quay

The West Coast of Vancouver Island (as in Ucluelet, Tofino, and Long Beach) had been closed to us (2020-06-13) due to Covid19. Nonetheless, we decided to take a drive out to Alberni (very much open to visitors). Victoria Quay was a pleasant stroll.

Cowichan Valley - Kinsol Trestle

June (2020-06-28) found us in the middle of the Covid19 pandemic. Thankfully parks had been opened. We hadn't been to the Kinsol Trestle in some years. This day was as good as any.

Cowichan Valley - Genoa Bay

July 5, 2020 found us travelling south to check out a lake near Chemainus. Later we decided to travel on to Genoa Bay. We hadn't been there in quite some time. This postcard is iconic.

Nanoose - Brickyard Beach

During the last few weeks - June 2020 - we've been exploring numerous Salish Sea beaches along Vancouver Island's eastern shore. My motivation was the many streets and roads that dead-end at the water's edge (Google Maps was a great resource!).
