We visited Telegraph Cove as we had made arrangements for a kayaking tour. We had gorgeous sunny weather and calm waters – can’t ask for anything more perfect than that! It was just the 4 of us plus our guide, Becky. She gave us a quick primer on how to paddle and control the rudder with our feet – it was quite awkward, like sitting down bow-legged. We saw a seal and her pup laying on the rock, a couple eagles and a nest. Everyone had a great time out, especially the kids. (Probably because they did not have a paddle as hard as the adults!!!)

Today, as we made our way to Miracle Beach, we took a small detour to visit Elk Falls Provincial Park to see the new suspension bridge and of course waterfall.

There were lots of people checking out the falls and the new bridge. As we were walking back to the truck, a deer jumped out of the bushes right in front of us! It was so close that Jeff could almost touch it! Talk about excitement!
