Another Picturesque Village

Leaving Telegraph Cove we drove through the village of Beaver Cove where there is a large lumber operation. We stopped to watched a huge machine that could pick up full size trees, then cut them in half with its attached chain saw.

As we weren’t very far from Port McNeil we decided to drive through. I had expected a very small town and was surprised to see how large it was. I guess I’m not used to being in a populated area yet.

We drove south towards Campbell River and stopped at Ripple Rock RV Resort at Browns Bay. This campground was recommended to us by the fellow from Nanaimo and it is one of the few places that advertises a hot tub. We were all ready for a nice long hot tub and Ed remembered about the “Ripple Rock Explosion” from his childhood. The harbour was very picturesque and the campground or should I call it a resort was very clean. Due to the terrain the campground was on two levels and just about everyone had a great view. We chose the lower level (even though it was more expensive) because it was nearer to the hot tub. Even though the jets weren’t working the hot tub was oooooooh soooooo goooooood!
