On the drive from Nanaimo to Tofino, we stop for a break at Cathedral Grove, which offers a short walk through one of the rainforests that used to competely cover Vancouver Island. There's a sign warning us to leave the forest immediately if the wind picks up. Apparently big branches regularly fall from the trees and the trees themselves are somewhat prone to blowing over due to their shallow roots (there are so many nutrients available that they apparently don't need a broad, deep root system). Fortunately today there's hardly a breath of wind.
