Here are a couple of pictures along the Wild Pacific Trail. The sign is pretty close to the beginning of the trail which starts at the Lighthouse in Ucluelet. We can hear the Lighthouse bellowing very well from the suite that we are renting...it can be a very eery sounds as the fog rolls in off the water. The fog is so heavy at times, it's almost like rain! When the wind picks up, you can hear the "whistle can" start up... (for those of us who don't know fishing "lingo"... it's a thing that looks kinda like a really big milk can that's on a buoy.) They situate them along the coast where there are reefs or rocks and when a storm starts up, it starts whistling, so, it's a warning signal.
One night in January, Henry and I were laying in bed talking... He was telling me how much he loves it here and how happy he was. "Listen to that fog horn...don't you love it? I can hear the whistle can starting up. Isn't that sound awesome? " As he adds his snoring to all the wonderful "music" outside, the sealions in the bay decide they are going to have a party and they all start barking! Here I am, trying to sleep with all these "wonderful" new sounds that bless my hubby's soul!! Oh...I'm buying earplugs!
Oh ya...this is life on the Wild Side!!
