Ocean Falls

July 1, 2010

We are finishing up our 2 days we have spent at Ocean Falls. This is one of our favorite stops when we go north. Rather than described the place in detail I would like to refer you to their website - http://www.traveloceanfalls.com/p_home.html for a short history and http://www.traveloceanfalls.com/m_home.html for more detail which I think you will find interesting.

THE OCEAN FALLS MUNICIPAL DOCK

Today was an especially fun day because it was Canada Day which is similar to our 4th of July for you non-Canadians. The town had a barbeque and potluck. Karyl made up one of her fancy dishes so we joined the group and got to know some of the people who live here. As there are only 35 permanent residents it wasn’t a big group. Needless to say, if you read the history, the town is struggling to stay alive but the people who live here, just love it.

Tomorrow we will leave and continue our trek to the north. This should probably be my last internet connection until we arrive in Prince Rubert, perhaps in a week or more so this blog will be silent for awhile.
