Day #355 10 days of Countdown So Far

Feb/99
This time of year
Vanc. Island, B.C.
Not like here with its ice and snow.

So far, so good.
Last night I started at the back of the book 'Trans Canada Trail The 18,000 Kilometre Dream', to lay out the map from Victoria to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, the first 200 or so kilometres of the TCTrail.
In the cities, such as Victoria, one has to know what streets to navigate.
Not much to go on in the book, so I googled Trans Canada Trail, Vancouver Island, and received lots of information, with a lot of links to sites I didn't have time to read yet.
It did have an indepth map from Victoria to Nanaimo. I'v been to many of those places so it will be great having the familiarity.
They also mentioned what parks are worth visiting.
This picture was taken at Bowen Park right in the city of Nanaimo.
Many trees on the coast are totally covered with this moss and seem to experience no ill effects.
The river beside this tree is a rocky, raging, icy one that is absolutely fascinating to watch, and wonder if one would survive a fall into. Not likely! I've spent many hours sitting beside that river.
Hard to believe that it has been 10 days already of the countdown.
I wonder if I can be ready. Time passes so swiftly, but swift I personally am not.
