Ten of us brave souls ignored the sweltering heat today to walk about 9 Km along the Cowichan Valley Trail. I guess you could call the theme of the walk, "Where have all the flowers gone?" Along the way we decided to visit an area where previously we had seen a bunch of trees cut for telephone poles. -- DeNNis.

| The top yellow trace is our driving route out Renfrew Rd. We parked the cars where the Cowichan Valley Trail crosses Renfrew Rd (top left). I noted the Kinsol Trestle location further up in that corner of the map. We walked from there to where we had seen a bunch of trees cut for poles. Then we headed back along the same route with a short detour along Oland Rd . |

| A nice home for the horse. |

| One of a few gates where traffic crosses the trail. |

| Rest time! |

| End of the flower season?? |
 |
| Still lots of green in spite of the heat. |
 |
| An example of the trees cut for poles. |
 |
| Some miniature humans in contrast. |
 |
| Not too much green here. |
 |
| This looked interesting. |
 |
| An interesting old time fence covered in moss. Does this keep the bears out of the garbage can? |
 |
| My version of a "Selfie." |

| We did sit beside some beautiful "Indian Paint Brush" when we stopped for coffee at Shawnigan Coffee House. |
