Summer has definitely hit! Today was sunny and
hot, and we took advantage of the great weather. I went for a bike
ride along the water, nearly to Gibsons, and Cheryl went for a hike
on the trails in the campground and then along the beach. It sure is
pretty here! The road to Gibsons was kind of busy with car traffic
but had lots of really great views of the water and Vancouver Island.

I can see why people like it here. It is a really
great spot to vacation. Sechelt is a nice town as well. I like it
more than Powell River, though it is a little smaller. The downtown
area was well kept up, lots of interesting shops. In fact, we spent
an hour or so browsing around in a used book store. We bought
several books – funny how I never seem to have time to browse used
bookstores when in Victoria, only on holiday.

I found it tough to get going on the ride today.
I can tell I am sick. Also, my legs were a bit sore from something,
either the ride 2 days ago or the hike yesterday into Skookumchuck
Narrows. Either way, another sign that I am not well as neither was
particularly strenuous. I should probably take it easy for
a couple of days until I feel better, but when the weather is so nice
it is hard to stay off the bike!
