Mt Bolduc Wreckage Drive, November 9th

#1 Post by cbalme » Tue Oct 29, 2024 10:43 pm

Hi everyone, it's about time we get out in the bush again! I am hoping to get up to the plane crash on Mt. Bolduc on November 9th, it is a WW2 wreckage site and is an interesting place to visit.

The plan is to meet at 9:30 at the Tim Hortons on Drinkwater Rd, across from the Forest Museum. 2927 Drinkwater Rd, Duncan, I hope to be back on the tarmac in Mesachie Lake by around 3:00, maybe earlier.

It is expected to be scratch free but it is a good steep drive up to the wreckage site which is easily walked to from the road.

Some Victoria folk may want to meet us in Mesachie Lake if they come from Port Renfrew.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Bring a VHF radio if you have one, chair and a lunch!

Always a fun trip. I’ll convoy through Sooke and meet up at the lake.
