Camping on Vancouver Island

Went to Tofino this weekend to do some camping.

We went out to do some kayaking with paddle west. Saw some really old trees. They estimate the 'hanging garden' tree to be 1600 years old. That's old.

Other highlights include:
Getting withing 5 feet of a seal
Missing the Horseshoe Bay ferry madness by one day
Our fearless driver was pulled over for speeding, but we only got a warning
My friend ran over my guitar, and broke the headstock in two
Visited Cathedral Grove with more big trees
The guys in the campsite beside us were kicked out for boisterous conduct
No bears ate our stuff
Miles of beach, tons of sealife at low tide
Campfire, food and drinks

I'll hopefully have some pics soon. Unfortuately my bike didn't fit in the car, so I was out of luck wrt biking.
