A lone wolf in Fitz Hugh Sound-
Codville Lagoon on King Island with Carole and Carl. Sagar Lake
is just below the mountain in the background. A mile hike and up
to the lake with it's stunning sand beach and a skinny dipper! A moss covered tree in
the sunlight.
We are
surprised seeing a cruise boat popping out
of tiny Johnson
Channel. We round Coolidge Point for our first
glimpse of the
ghost town of Ocean Falls and its power plant fed
from enormous
15 mile long Link Lake.Put the bike ashore
for a ride around the town and up to the dam and lake. Once a
pulp mill town of 5000 now just 20 full timers...

a watchful eagle and an ENOURMOUSE
nest. A view of the rapids into Kumealon Lagoon just
before slack water.
