It was a beautiful day for a long hike. We had been to Sooke Potholes before but never ventured down them Galloping Goose Regional Trail as far as Leech town so that was our goal. I love the Sooke potholes, the river is always changing and there are just so many beautiful bits of creation.
We found so many little treasures along the way on the path and even more man made treasures once we reached Leechtown.
The green in the forests always looks so fresh and clean. So many shades that give me a sense of new life, abundant growth goodness in our world.
It truly is a lovely trail to hike along, open and wide. We make many stops to take pictures of all the life we find along the way. We even nabbed a couple of caches along the trail.
And the calmness of the water at this time of year and the peacefulness it brings to all as we look down and follow it's path. 
The river cuts through the rock each year deeper and deeper creating small canyons and pools. It works its way downward to the ocean.
Finally we arrive at our destination. It is the site of an old goldmining town and then later the area was also used to house loggers. It is good that places like this are there to remind us of the history and those that came before us. 
Treasure after treasure we find in creation. Everything so different and yet so perfect. It is amazing that all of creation lives together bringing beauty to each other. If only people could live like this. The past two year this covid virus has caused so much division in people and anger. Just because we don't all agree doesn't mean we can't accept and still care for one another. Just as the moss and the stump are very different, they live giving life to each other. Trees grow on top of rocks, nursing stumps give new life, all living together in harmony with each other.
Finally we arrive at our destination. It is the site of an old goldmining town and then later the area was also used to house loggers. It is good that places like this are there to remind us of the history and those that came before us. 
We found some old remnants from the days folks worked and lived here on the way back and stopped to have some fun. This is the site of the managers cabin.
It was a great day, a fun adventure and one I will probably do a few more times. Everytime you go out into the woods things have changed and new treasures are found!
