My Mother’s Journal of the West Coast Trail circa late 1970’s

I found a treasure yesterday. My Mother’s ashes are on the West Coast Trail, because I knew she’d hiked the trail not long before her death and loved it.  Ray was paging through a book yesterday and out fell a collection of small notes. Turns out it is an incomplete, and rather inaccurate journal that my Mother wrote of her West Coast trail hike, circa late 1970’s.  She passed 37 years ago but I can hear her voice with her story.

The pictures are not of her on the West Coast trail, but of a previous hike we took together around the same time.

Woke up at around 7:30-8:00 at Bamfield campground. Beautiful morning. Tried washing in the ocean – soap has no effect. Reorganized and left at 10:50. Walked through rain forest – beautiful ferns, giant Douglas fir. Weather perfect to Pachena Bay and light house. Meet Ev and Ken Mills – nice couple (10 bridges)

Switched to beach shelf at low tide, hard going to Klanawa River. Millions of mussels and anemones. Klanawa River on the beach, same place we passed hole in the wall. Beautiful beach and weather.

Why she stopped here I’ll never know. It’s not the bottom of the page. Something interrupted her and she never came back to it. Unfinished business.
