Horne Lake
While driving from Courtenay to Nanaimo (along the North coast of Vancouver Island) I noticed a small road sign about caves. I had wanted to see some caves here; there are many on the island. So having a few hours to spare, I followed the sign on a whim. As the paved road transitioned into a potholed dirt forest track, the scenery became more and more beautiful.
Probably due to the weather (cold, overcast, snowy) there were almost no people around, although a few die-hards were up in the mountains fishing. They asked me what I thought of Obama. I told them that he looked pretty good now, almost everyone seems ecstatic about his presidency, and at least he isn’t an embarrassment to us!
A bird zoomed out of the mysterious fog and into the wierd light.
The Horne lake area is very close to populated areas – only 10 miles away or so – and even so, it looks like this. I would love to see parts of the island that are really far away from towns, such as the north-west end. Maybe some day.
