Last Day of Vacay

When the Superman was asked this morning to end his vacay a day early we decided to spend the day as a family :) and  go somewhere we had never been before. We headed to the end of Forbidden Plateau Road and hiked in to find the Medicine Bowls on the Browns River....
Pictures don't do it justice. It actually freaked me out. The power of the water was amazing.

The current has created perfect circles in the rock.

I think the kids took great pleasure in freaking me out as they inched closer to the edge for a better look. I was a total chicken.

It was breath taking but I was glad to get every one back to the trail safe and sound.
The Superman then decided we should find the end of Forbidden Plateau Road......

It ends up at an old abandoned Ski Hill.

The ski lift with chairs attached are still there.

The view was amazing, Courtenay, Comox, Hornby & Denman Islands, Powell River (BC Mainland)

Comox Lake and Cumberland

Dilapidated Ski Rental Hut, with a view of the Comox Valley and Georgia Straight. On the way down the hill Grant had a great chat with the kids about perspective.....to which Holly responded "Thanks Dad?! Way to pull a Brother Anderson" :) 

A few minutes down the road look what crossed the road in front of us......
First Black Bear we have seen since leaving Port Alberni


 It was a great way to end the Superman's vacay....So sorry you have to go back to work [snicker, snicker, snicker]
