I also loved Rustad’s book – I just finished it last month. 🙂

Rustad’s book Big Lonely Doug is compelling; I have ordered three copies for my friends. One of them is for my friend William Lindsay of China Great Wall fame. We all remember his admonition: Take only photos, leave only footprints!’ Taryn, thank you very much.

Thanks Taryn! Yes, your photo of the pink fawn lilies might just have tipped the scales 😉 I was reading through your other post too – lots of good places to check out. I’ve wanted to see Sandcut Falls for years…

April is a great time to head out – the moss is going to be sooo green! Make sure you read my other post about the Pacific Marine Circle Route – so many amazing places to stop on the way to Renfrew:

Decision made and now really looking forward to exploring! I don’t think I’d appreciated that the Avatar Grove was so close to Port Renfrew.

I’d never heard of them so thank you for bringing them to my attention. I’d love to jump on those trails now. Thank you for the great details on how to locate them all.

I had no idea that these majestic giants existed! I love hiking, and I love trees, so I will definitely get myself to Vancouver soon. I hope that tourism can help continue to protect these lovely trees.
