This gives us access to the paved roadway that was originally built as the BC Cement Haul Raod between Bamberton Cement Plant (c.1912) and the Kingzett Lake Quarry (13km distance). Today, only 5800m of it is usable but it's an interesting,and isolated location which includes Rat Lake.  

We stopped in at the BC Cement Heritage Museum (formerly a church) on the way through Mill Bay community along Hwy-1.

This week's storm brought down this tree blocking not one but two trails: The Trans Canada (L) and the Tidewater Subdivision Trail (southern Wye at Deerholm).

Our favourite eatery in Duncan, BC is Cherries. Good food — no, make that very good food — with friendly and caring service from the two women who own it.

I didn't see the lake from the hexacopter because just 500ft outbound the controller lost views from the drone. Oh well.
