NORTH OF THE CAMPGROUND.
Day 239 – It’s a little colder here at night but a little warmer during the day. On one side of us, barely visible through the trees, there’s someone (or maybe two people) camping in a very small Airstream trailer; we can’t see well enough to tell if it’s one person or two – that’s how quiet they are, darnit. Grin. On the other side of our site, between the trees, we can see a young couple camping in a tent. Not a peep out of them.

From: Salish Seaside RV Haven, Victoria, British Columbia.
To: Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, China Beach Campground, British Columbia.
Day 238 – This morning there was a mass exodus from the campground, including us. We are going to China Beach Campground, located within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park. The Provincial Park runs between the towns of Jordan River and Port Renfrew along the Pacific coastline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Day 237 – It rained last night and this morning; what else is new. We read on the news this morning that the Pacific Northwest has experienced record-breaking rains last month and this month so far. Last summer Vancouver Island and Vancouver had record-breaking heat. We decided we’d rather have the rains than the heat. No more complaining.

Day 236 – It rained hard all night last night, and a good portion of today was rainy. No sun, whatsoever. The Seal was not floating in the little bay on his back basking in the sun. It was gloomy most of the day, but when the rain occasionally let up, we did get some pictures.

Day 235 – There’s always something going on at the campground. The RV is facing the harbor and a little bay or inlet. The large RV windshield faces it all. Every day we see Deer, Canada Geese, Seals, River Otters, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, Raccoons, Purple Martins, Starlings, Sea Gulls, Ducks, and Swallows. It’s really just a matter of whether we grab the cameras and go outside, risking the activity might stop, or just continue to view from inside the RV.

Day 234 – Any day on the water is a good day. We took advantage of a day where no rain was forecast. Complete clouds, yes, that’s what they said, but no rain. As it turned out, it did rain some, but not too much, and the sun did come out. We did have a good day.

Day 233 – Today we woke up early; it was a good thing because the wildlife were active early, too. It was cloudy and 56 degrees at 6:45 a.m.

From: Elwha Dam RV Park, Port Angeles, WA. USA.
To:Salish Seaside RV Haven, Victoria, British Columbia. CANADA.
Day 232 – It was 51 degrees and cloudy this morning. Before packing up to leave for the ferry, we had a couple of errands to run in Port Angeles. We mailed some things from the post office; we didn’t want to deal with a Canadian post office, different postage, etc. Then we made a quick stop at the health store – because we lost our toothpaste. We searched all over and couldn’t find the toothpaste and our current tube was running out. Weird. Whoever heard of disappearing toothpaste.
