Ocean Falls


Fire Station


Dilemma: free internet or sun




Ambulance


Noone has stopped here in years
 





July 17
 Stocked up on groceries and headed inward of Fisher Channel and sailed a long way to Ocean Falls soaking up much needed sunshine along the way. Arrived in front of the dam about 6 pm and it was still comfortably warm sleeveless on the boat.  At the head of Cousins Inlet, Fisher and Queen Charlottes Sound, neath the shelter of Old Baldy Mountain where the watershed at the dam down by the safe harbor lies the town of Ocean Falls.

   After dinner we walked around the abandoned town, explored the old hardware, the outdoor gym, the campground and up to Link Lake and returned after dusk.
