Telegraph Cove
We left the Walmart parking lot and headed up the Island Highway to a little town called Telegraph Cove. We arrived there shortly after 1:00. The last part of the road was a detour through a logging company yard .....very muddy, bumpy and hilly.
This town was touted in the tourist guide as "one of the most picturesque village on Vancouver Island", with its historical buildings on stilts along the waters edge........that was until some developer got in there, they have built new aluminum siding condos along one side of the bay and filled the bay with docks. Not a pretty site. They have 350 acres surrounding the bay, all slated for development......so much for the quaint little village.
We ended up in the newer park which was fine except as we were parking someone came in and drove over one of the water stand pipes.......so we had no water. We were able to reach on of the working water spigots and filled out tank, so we were fine.
We took a walk around the old part of town and took some pictures, then went back to the trailer for dinner. We met some nice people out at the campfire and traded travel stories.
