The drive back from Tofino

 The drive to and from Tofino is not for the faint of heart nor for beginner drivers. People have been injured or died on this route. I have also found that with difficulty comes great rewards.
 An example of the rocky outcrops that lie on one side and the steep dropoff on the other. Its important to obey the posted speed limit!
 This morning we had wonderful moisture caressing the mountainside.
 Yes, that's snow. It is November in Canada.



 Port Alberni's pulp mill.
 Nearing Cathedral Grove.
 I tried to take shots of the pumpkins as we passed them. Every year after Halloween, locals put their pumpkins out on the road from near Cathedral Grove to Port Alberni. Some great works of temporary art on some.
 Leaving the grove.
Now the bad drive is past. Hope you enjoyed this little travelogue on Tofino...there and back again.
