After Chemainus we went down the road and took a short detour on to a Native Reserve. We found a Fish Hatchery. The people running it had gone for lunch. I went into the office and meet Florence Elliot. She is an elder and both her sons run the place. One of them takes care of the hatchery. The other one has started a business with indigeous plants. He is gathering plants in the forest that are difficult to find. Deni would have been in her glory there. We went out to the river where the fish count is happening at night. It was a beautiful tranquil spot.
We then headed out to Cowichan Bay. It has really changed a huge resort has been built there. It was a tiny little place that we got cheap fish and chips at. Not any more. The docks are still the same. Some things don't change.
That night we headed to my favorite Mexican Restuarant, Gina's to meet up with Ross and Bonnie for supper. It was a great way to end the trip.
