Adventuring with Herbert Putkey

From Second Honeymoon

For our second honeymoon, Theresa and I went with the English to the Sunshine coast and Strathcona park. We had 3 nights in Lund (very small town north of Powell River) and 3 nights in the Strathcona Park Lodge, 45km from Campbell River. In Lund we took a boat cruise into the not so desolate Desolation Sound, and spent a great day exploring Savary Island. On Savary Island, the 10 of us split into three groups. Ollie, Cliff, Theresa and I walked around pretty much the entire island, and had a good swim at Sutherland beach. Steven, Sharon, mom and dad spent most of the day relaxing at a different beach. Robert and Catherine rented bikes and explored all of the island that way.

In Strathcona we had two good hikes, and managed to squeeze in some paddling and swimming in the Upper Campbell lake too. We stayed in the Strathcona Park Lodge, which worked out really well. We had a big cabin to ourselves with a view of the lake from the patio, and easy access to the water.
