My side trip to Mount Cain put me a little behind schedule, and as I continued south, it was clear that I couldn’t make it to Campbell River before dark.  A quick stop by the side of the road let me confirm that the Ripple Rock RV Park allowed tents (many RV parks do not), so it became my destination for the evening. Like most RV parks, it had a self check-in procedure for late arrivals.  I paid my fee and hurried to get the tent set up before dark.

While I was setting up, two cruise ships–including the one I had seen earlier at the Cluxewe park passed by.  The second was a Disney cruise.  For a bit of history of Seymour Narrows and Ripple Rock, check out this video:

Within the hour, two more cruise ships headed north through this formerly notorious channel.

One of the cool things about camping away from the cities is that the night sky can be very interesting.

This RV park is pretty posh by most standards. They have a fantastic gathering room/building where guests can get together for movie nights, parties, etc.  They have a fitness cottage and a hot tub.  Of course, I wasn’t staying long enough to benefit from any these features.

In the morning, I was packing up when I got a text from Donna Ross.  She was nearby and free to go birding!

We met up at Tims in Campbell River and spent the day checking out the birds and scenery between Campbell River and Comox, where Donna was having dinner with family.  It was great to have a birding buddy with me!  We didn’t find any particularly unusual species, but it was a lot of fun trying!

Donna and I parted ways in Comox. I had thought about stopping along the way home for just a bit more birding, but deadlines loomed large on a project I had to do Monday night, so I just made my way back to Victoria. On Tuesday, I was meeting up with some visitors from Arizona, looking for some of Victoria’s special birds. It’s just as well that I went straight home.  By the time I was done what I had to do, I looked at the clock and the sky–it was already 5 am!
