Port Refrew

Have you ever been to Port Renfrew? Do you know where Port Renfrew is? We drove over there today to visit a cousin of Art's that he has not seen for 50 years....after lunch of a $1.99 Whopper Wednesday burger at Burger King (I love hamburgers) we headed out what was to be an 1 1/2 hour drive (took 2 1/2 hours)....we turned right at Lake Cowichan (we should have turned left) and after bumping along on a gravel logging road, asked directions, turned around and got back on track...then there was a 20 min. wait for the pilot car to follow for 10 kms (road repairs)....Art forgot the address but remembered the street name, lucky there is only 100 houses in Port Renfrew, ha ha...asked at the post office and Maurice (cousin) lives across the street with a beautiful ocean view...had a very nice visit and hope to see him again, he is in excellent shape for 77..... checked out the marina and RV park....more people live there than in town... but I don't think we will take the MH over.......there are no kids left to go to school, just native indians...the older kids take a 1 hour bus ride to Sooke.... I little too isolated for me I think....not even a gas station.....only a grocery store, liquor store and hotel and the worse is dial up internet.....whatever would we do??????
