Cape Scott Day 4 - Hiking Out

This will be a short post. Day 4 is all about getting up early, having breakfast, breaking camp and getting back to the trail head in good time. Once there, we drive out on the logging roads to the highway and then head back down island and home. By now our packs are lighter, our food is almost all gone and we're not carrying much water as we will pick it up from streams along the way. I don't take many pictures on the way out, but must show the shoe tree below.

Can't explain it. Someone started it years ago and it continues on. A hammer and a box of nails lay there awaiting your shoe contribution. How they managed to get so high up that tree is a mystery.

So after 15 years and an aborted attempt two years ago, Roy and I finally make it to the Cape Scott Lighthouse. Thanks to Ian for organizing the trip and sharing his gear, his knowledge and experience.
It wasn't an easy trip, but truly an amazing journey.
