That morning, this picture was taken looking north. The rising sun was reflected in the clouds.

We had to go fill up on water, so we stopped and a couple of Nancy’s friends in the area.

This was an aerial pic of the area with distances to various spots including Egmont were D and the guys were hiking that day.

Their destination on foot from Egmont were the Skookumchuk Rapids. Here, hikers can embark on a popular trail to the fastest moving salt water rapids in North America which reverse direction in the narrows. D said the hike was an adventure, let alone seeing the swirling waters of the rapids.

Meanwhile, Nancy and I were scooting through the forest on her trusty gator.

Nancy gave me permission to help with some of the fall garden clean up.

Our first stop was the Little House where a beautiful cove is located on the east side of the property.

I enjoyed another glimpse into the Love Shack where I would dearly love to stay sometime.

We also stopped on the property to see where a wedding was once held.

The drift wood along this area, is on a scale I have never seen before.

Wouldn’t you love this to be your kitchen view?

The long rays of the autumn sun.

From this vantage point, I would often have an afternoon nap while at Pender.

That evening we ventured out for a delicious dinner at the Ruby Lake Resort Restaurant where Joni Mitchell who resides in the neighbourhood, likes to dine. The resort is a popular destination in Madeira Park, check out their website for menus and more information about the resort. Ruby Lake Resort – Sunshine Coast in British Columbia

We started with a satisfying bruschetta made with their own garden tomatoes and a balsamic reduction.

D and I shared this lovely burrata appetizer,

and then this fabulous seafood and pasta special. The mussels were lovely and briny and the most humungous ones I had ever eaten.

Another perfect day with beautiful food, gorgeous surroundings and fascinating people.
