My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

#Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.

Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

You build a tourist destination, accessible via 1 road and you don't even run a bus to it? There are no parallel roads, paths, or rail? You're building and reinforcing car dependency. I don't think I'm going in the direction of Port Renfrew again any time soon.

Phew. A big day driving a lot of different kinds of road!

The Kona is a little dusty but no worse for wear. 492km total with a 20min fast charge (60-80%) in Port Renfrew was enough to make the loop.

Surprise visited family in Victoria too. A good day!

Anniversary mini road trip to Nitinat River, #PortRenfrew and Botanical beach! Took the back road through #lakecowichan to Botanical Beach, now headed to #yyj and backnup the Island. Currently using the free charger to top up before the home leg.
