We've changed the date of the May hike, and we have a great plan (thanks to Devon and Ian):
New date: Sunday, May 31st
Destination: Parkinson Creek Trailhead (on the Juan de Fuca Trail).
Parkinson Creek Trailhead is located at Kilometer 37.6 of the Juan de Fuca
Marine Trail and provides access to begin or terminate a 10 kilometer hike to
(or from)Botanical Beach or a nine kilometer hike to (or from) Sombrio Beach.
From here you can hike east to Sombrio or west to Botanical Beach. There are two
campsites close by - Payzant Creek at Kilometer 40 and Little Kuitsche Creek at
Kilometer 33.5. This intermediate section of the trail winds through regenerated
logged areas and some old growth forest fringe and along spectacular rugged
shoreline. Keep a wary eye out for marine mammals and other wild life.

Let's meet at Serious Coffee (Westshore, of course) at 8 am. We need to head out by 8:30 to give us travel time.
Pack a lunch, bring your lunch, your dog and your raincoat (just in case).
