Jane's log:

"The rain is back!

"The kingfishers came out to say goodbye, probably glad to see us go: they're very territorial.

"Great entrance to Ocean Falls: the sun was shining and we got to watch a bear take a stroll along the beach.

"What a strange place! the falls are wow!!

"Bear on the boat!!!  The locals say the bears are hungry, as both the berries and the salmon are late.  They've taken to eating chickens and ducks (another local says the berries are good, but that some locals have been feeding the bears).

"We had to do a bear watch as we walked to the store (about 2 miles) along the road through the valley."
