A Pleasant Walk

My wife Marilyn and I walked about 7k from the Devon Golf Course to the HWY 60 Bridge and back again through some beautiful woodland river trails. There are a lot of steep hills, and it is actually part of our training for the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island next July. We plan on the northern route, from Port Renfrew north to Bamfield. The West Coast Trail is about 75km through some of the wildest and most spectacular ocean and rain forest scenery in the world. We plan on doing it in 7 days. Part of our training is to carry 40 pound packs on the same walk we went on today, and if we can’t do that, there is no point in even trying the West Coast Trail.
