Comox-Buttle Divide Solo Ski Tour - Day 3

Tent Day

I woke up this morning to a cloudy day. Everything was shrouded in fog. I didn't go anywhere. The weather has markedly improved this evening. The clouds have lifted, I can see the sun behind a haze and what appears like a high pressure system coming in from the east. Looking down the valley, I can see the southern end of Texada Island and Lasqueti Island.

So I have lost a day. Hopefully, I wake to good conditions tomorrow. Two options: Head for next planned camp at the headwaters of Siokum Creek and then the next day head out on Ralph Ridge, or carry on over Siokum Mountain and camp at Ink Lake, carrying on with the original plan to exit on Shepherd Ridge. From Ink Lake I can back track to Ralph Ridge as well, without going back up the mountain. I guess we will see what the weather brings and how I feel tomorrow.
