Enjoyed our trip home to Vancouver Island, for a week at Yellow Point Lodge.
Port Angeles harbour, Yellow Point Lodge coastline, Gabriola Island marina, and the Kinsol Trestle bridge near Shawnigan Lake, where I grew up.

#PatrolasCreek is a stream on #VancouverIsland near #ShawniganLake. Patrolas Creek is near the #Cowichan station & Theik Indian Reserve 2. This creek is part of the Cowichan #Koksilah #Watershed on South #VanIsle. This is the creek from backroads access.

The #KoksilahRiver, Xwulqw'selu Sta'lo', #Watershed is located south of Duncan on #VancouverIsland and lies within the traditional territories of #Cowichan Tribes, #Malahat Nation and other #FirstNations.
The #Koksilah River originates on the slopes of Waterloo Mountain, southwest of #ShawniganLake. It flows eastward for approximately 44 km before discharging into the Cowichan/Koksilah estuary. The watershed area is approximately 302 square kilometres. The main tributaries of the Koksilah River are Fellows Creek in the west, and Kelvin, Patrolas, Howie and Glenora creeks, which enter the Koksilah about 4-6 km upstream of the estuary in Cowichan Bay, which it shares with the Cowichan River.
The Cowichan and Koksilah #Rivers were historically connected through side-channels where Duncan is currently situated. #Shhwuykwselu (which translates loosely to “Busy Place”) was a historical connection and intersection between the two rivers where people gathered before continuing up the Cowichan or Koksilah rivers. Today the place name Sh-hwuykwselu is still carried by a small lower tributary of the Koksilah River, and the name #Xwulqwselu is the name of a Cowichan village nearby.
