Robert's Creek Campground.

After leaving the Queen of Surrey Ferry, we stayed for a a week at Robert's Creek Provincial Campground on the Sunshine coast of  British Columbia, Canada. We have been to this part of the Sunshine coast before and stayed at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park. This was our first time camping at Robert's Creek Provincial Park.

It is well kept by friendly staff and surrounded by forest. One can hear a lttle traffic noise, so I suggest one camp the furthest away from the road. 

There is a hiking trail to the beach, but we found it easier to park at the Day use area.

"This small beach has an excellent swimming area, as well as a scenic picnic area. The large natural rock formations are an added attraction to this pleasant park. Located at the junction of Flume Road and Beach Avenue." - Swim Guide

"The camping area is located in forest of large cedars, Douglas fir and Hemlock trees.

At low tide the cobblestone ocean beach at the picnic area is a good viewing area for sea stars, mussels and oysters or for watching whales, seals and ducks (in winter) offshore."- B.C Parks 

"At the Roberts Creek campground, you can relax under the towering, moss-clad conifers which characterize British Columbia's temperate coastal rainforests. Heavy and consistent rains water a thick understory of ferns, flowers and fruit-bearing bushes (such as timbleberry, blackberry and salmonberry). Look for deer and bears, or for the summer calling of Pacific chorus frogs." - Outdoorsy

There were fire-bans and water restrictions due to the drought.
There are pit toilets,  Cold water taps and a Sani-Station/Dump. 

Robert's Creek has a general store which sells Cold beer and wine as well.  there are alos shops,resturants, etc. as well.  We bought great chips at Sharkeys Fishlocker.

The community of Sechelt is about 10 kilometres from Robert's Creek and has shops, restaurants, a visitor center,  hiking, beaches, etc. 

More coming soon.

Cattle Dog.


“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” –
  Orhan Pamuk (author, My Name Is Red)


We went random camping near Limestone Mountain, Alberta, Canada for a few days. We have camped near Limestone Mountain a few times and once before in the same spot, you can see the post here.

“Wild horses” or “feral horses”? The debate rages on in Alberta, Canada. The provincial government believes that the wild horses west of Sundre, Alberta are the descendants of domestic horses used in logging and guiding/outfitting operations in the early 1900’s. The Wild Horse Society of Alberta (WHOAS) believes that they are of Spanish descent. WHOAS is so sure of this that they have sent away DNA samples to the University of Texas, Equine Genetics Lab for testing.” – Wild Horses Of Alberta

Doggy heaven.


We went camping again at one of our favorite places next to the James River near Sundre, Alberta., Canada.




 

We saw some of the wild horses of Alberta (WHOA) again, you can read more about them here. If you look carefully you can see a bird on its neck, he was also limping (right back leg).


The weather was very good.


The sunsets stunning.


A night shot of the James river.
