We have found some fantastic camping sites – along rivers, lakes and mountains. Our site along Dragon lake in Quesnel was no different – except that it seemed everyone in the park was either fishing, getting ready to fish or talking about how little fish they caught. Read on
A 100km race, the year 1856 and 3 bears!
Quesnel, our next destination spot turned out to be a great place to explore. We parked our RV on the edge of a big lake and went off to explore Barkerville, the largest living history museum in North America. Read on
A Wild Ride to Lillooet
It seems as if most roads in BC have names as well as route numbers. Route 99, from Vancouver to Lillooet is called the Sea to Sky Highway – and traverses rain forest to desert mountains. The 13 and 14 grade mountain grades, with tight hairpin curves thrown in for extra excitement, made for a nerve wracking day of travel. Read on
A Few More Words About the Weather
Ahhh… Sunshine!
We knew this trip to the Northwest would mean a wet spring, and true to expectations, we’ve seen about 5 rainy days for every dry one. Read on
Perspective
Our day started with many ups, downs and hairpin turns crossing Vancouver Island. After a frustrating stop at an uncooperative Canadian Tire store, we had a pleasant experience at a helpful Wal-Mart where we got the flat tire on our Scion fixed. Read on
A Gasp every 20 Feet
The Wild Pacific Trail is a circular path that runs along the edge of a spectacular peninsula – it offers fantastic views around every bend. We calculated that our 4 mile walk would take us about an hour like at home. Fat chance! Although it was very cloudy, we found many spots to photograph and put them into an album called 05-11 Wild Pacific Trail at right. We’ll return tommorr0w, with the hopes for a sunny day, to roam, paint and snap pics.
If you want, enjoy a walk at this web site.

Room with a view
Victoria is at the southern end of Vancouver Island, in BC. On the ferry over we met a friendly couple that used to live in Victoria and they recommended that we stay at this RV & Marina Park right smack in the middle of town. Our RV is about 6 ft. from the shore and we look over the bay at the downtown area. Pretty cool site in a pretty cool city! Read on
