Texada Island

 A weekend kayak trip with some friends

We put in at Smuggler's Cove, then paddled out to North Thormanby Island

There's a really nice sand cliff on the end of the island.

We camped at Anderson Bay on Texada Island.

The season of much barking

I had hoped to go as far as Jedediah Island, but the weather was rough so we didn't do that leg of the trip.

October on the Mountain

An afternoon on Crater Mountain

Crater Mountain burned this summer. But it feels like everything around here has burnt in the last five years. It's starting to feel normal.

Some parts are burnt thoroughly...

Some parts aren't burnt at all, and the mountain is still lively
