The bears like it here because there are still some fruit trees. These are pie cherries.

Apples.

More thimble berries than I had ever seen.

The bay in front of Mamalilaculla, looking west. Too shallow for motor boats. Perfect for canoes.

Looking east.

The beach is one giant midden.

It is impossible to look for trade beads when the midden contains so much broken glass. It was possible to read some of the embossed pieces. It seems Musterole was popular.

There were a few concrete footings made from "gravel" from the beach. You can see that it's 20% shell.

The concrete footings were under items like this.

This must be the engine that was replaced.

The rocky shoreline was covered with wild strawberry.

Basalt on the left and granite in the right.

There were also lots of garter snakes sunning themselves. This might be the biggest I've ever seen. It's a big one when it coils to strike instead of just slithering away.

The workshop at Lagoon Cove. The railway is still functional. *

If you break down in the Broughtons, this is the place to do it.

We left Lagoon Cove, through the Blow Hole, and past Minstrel Island. Cutter Cove was so quiet that we decided to spend the night.

And then it got crowded.

My one picture of a whale. I've given up on getting a picture of a whale breaching.

Getting pictures of Pacific White-sided dolphins were easier.

And that's not easy.

Just missed them. They chased a school of fish under our boat and entertained us for 1/2 hour.

Lots of waterfalls in Tribune Channel. You can see Kamugui, the god of the undersea, where he comes ashore here under the waterfall to look at the air world. He usually relies on cormorants to dive down and inform him. Here, the waterfall runs down his forehead between his eyes, then down his nose, then off to the left past his mouth. He only speaks at night.

Lacey Falls

I used my bungee anchor system to go ashore on a little beach in the Burdwood Group north of Gilford Island.
