THE SEARCH FOR BIG TREES & LARGE ANIMALS.
Day 242 – It was supposed to continue raining today but again the forecast was incorrect. With the sun out and not too many clouds, we left a little before 11 a.m. to go see some more huge trees. We hoped to see Bears or Elk, also. We headed north towards Port Renfrew.

Day 241 – It rained again during the night, but the rained continued relentlessly during the day. We didn’t leave the RV. It was a good opportunity to appreciate the babies and to nap with them. We also spent some time working on the blog, so now it’s ready to go whenever we next have a signal. The high today was only 54 degrees.
MEMORIES OF THE GIRLS.
Day 240 – Eight years ago today the kitties came to live with us. They were a little over 11 weeks old. We had chosen them when they were only a few weeks old but had to wait what seemed to be an endless amount of time to bring them home. Soon after we’d first met them, the entire three litters that had been brought in together developed the extremely-contagious Colici Virus. Many of the kittens didn’t make it. We still had an elderly cat at home and couldn’t bring the babies home until it was safe for Junee. Still, we had to keep them separated from Junee for a month. Two of the four tiny kittens had been quite ill, both weighing less than 1 pound when we brought them home. For the first couple of months, we had to weigh them all daily. Finally all were gaining weight and they were out of the woods. They have brought us so much joy since we brought them home!

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.
