In cloud.* rain, sunshine
and even snow, the Rockies
never lost their awesome
beauty. Sometimes Joan and
I felt as though we were
driving through the clouds.
After straining our necks for
days peering upiat the snow
caps, it was astonishing to
look down from an airplane
to see the tips of the moun
tains poking through the
clouds.
I dreamed of watching a
movie while travelling in a
jet 30,000 feet in the air. But
when the chance came, it
wasn’t the thrill I expected.
First. I could see only the
top half of the screen above
the heads in front of me.
Secondly. I was too cheap to
pay $2 to rent a head set
And thirdly. I realized I
could go to the movies
anytime, but how often
could I watch the clouds
from above instead of below
them?
We drove through the
Okanagan Valley, and it
seemed as though we found
another fruit stand at every
few hundred feet. Most of
the booths were still board
ed up. but soon they would
be filled with fresh fruit.
Wherever we went, there
was an abundance of ac
tivities to be enjoyed — hik
ing. fishing, swimming,
boating and horseback
riding.
A ferry threaded its way
between rocky and wooded
islands, then crossed open
water to Vancouver Island
The Strait of Georgia was
calm, but still it managed to
rock the ferry gently,
rhythmically.
We disembarked at
Comox. On the mountainous
road between Comox and
Victoria, we stopped at
Malahat Lookout, where we
could see beyond an inlet to
farms, towns and lakes that
looked like patches on blue
jeans. Even backtracking on
this stretch of highway prov
ed worthwhile, because the
scenes were everchanging.
Turning inland, we drove
through the Cathedral Grove
— one of the last accessible
forests of giant trees
remaining in B.C. Most of
the Douglas Firs, Western
Red Cedars. Western
Hemlocks. Balsams and
Broadleafed Maples
sprouted 300 years ago after
a fire swept through the
forest, but a few have stood
for more than 800 years. The
largest Douglas Fir in the
grove measures 9*2 feet in
diameter and stands 244 feet
high.
Another tree that we
noticed often in B.C. was the
Arbutus. We were told that
Odds 'n Ends

L
its red bark dies in the
winter but the leaves do not.
We headed for Sproat
Lake, which reportedly had
prehistoric rock carvings on
the rocks along its shore. We
never found the carvings: in
fact, we couldn’t even find
the lake. But we drove past
other lakes that were still
enough and clear enough to
reflect the clouds. In sharp
contrast, in another park we
discovered Qualicum Falls
catapulting over rocks and
fallen logs.
We watched the churning,
writhing water below us,
glanced up at the towering
firs surrounding us,
remembered the rugged
mountains enclosing the
scene, and gradually we
developed a new respect for
Nature — its power and its
mystery.
We realized we didn’t
have to leave our own coun
try to see a variety of
landscapes, to explore
Nature's unspoiled parts or
to meet people of differing
lifestyles. The most impor
tant asset we gained from
our trip was an appreciation
of the people, places and
things that make up Canada.
