Well, sadly, summer has concluded in the life of us. Lucas has started his new job at Corvallis Clinic (which he loves!) And I return to work Monday. This is a sad day, truly. Before giving into the daily demands of life back at work Kendra and I spent some time in Bamfield with my brother (but no Sarah, we missed you Sarah!). After a very uneventful trip up to Bamfield we spent time boating, hiking around, and spying on neighboring boaters. The weather was outstanding, though the wildlife count was not so much. We left with a measly count of: 1 Heron, a few eagles, propoises, and two elk. Yes, those are all beautiful animals, and each was enjoyable to look at but we were in it for the gold-whale and bear. We saw no sign of whale at all and A LOT of bear poo. Sadly the poo never took us anywhere, though every pile was always fresh...sad day.
After chilling in Bamfield we started our trek out...leaving at 5 am in order to be in Victoria in time for our 10:30 am ferry. Unfortunately, we didn't quite make that ferry. The bottom line is this: lost on endless logging roads with no gas and no map....oops.
Five hours later we popped out on some road and alas we made it to Victoria in time for the 3 pm ferry. Yikes! :)
However, fun was had by all and it of course makes a good story! Now, I am sadly back to work. Yesterday mom came down and helped me organize cabinets so I at least feel better going Monday. Who doesn't feel good when their cabinets are organized...right Jess? :)
Hope ya'll are doing great!
p.s. Bamfield pics are posted on the web album!

Holy moly! I'm surprised though that you didn't see a bear while you were lost on the logging roads! I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your trip!
What an adventure! Did you get my email from July? I would love to hear back from you!!!
