One of my aims for our visit to Lillooet was to spend a day on “the road much less travelled”, to the historic gold mining towns of Goldbridge and Bralorne. What a day it was! There are 58 photos and a map in this post. Click here to open...

As I mentioned in my last post, within a couple of hours of arriving at the Fraser Cove RV Park in Lillooet, I had booked a third night. I had lots to see and do in Lillooet and the area. The photos and commentary in this post are from...

In Sechelt the afternoon of Day 44 of the trip, June 8th, I had visited Bricker Cidery, then gone back to Porpoise Bay Provincial Park to get the dogs. We then went to downtown Sechelt to do some more exploring. Our first stop was the walkway along Trail Bay....

Day 40 of the trip, June 4th, would be my final full day on the upper Sunshine Coast, and I had a lot that I still wanted to see. Powell River’s historic Townsite was the main focus, but I also wanted to see more beaches and more forests. There...

I didn’t have many plans for Powell River other than having a good look at the historic Townsite on Day 38 of the trip (June 2nd). As it turned out, though, it was quite an eventful day, meeting some former Yukoners, having some excellent local beers, and spending more...

Day 37 of the trip, June 1st, was a day of exploring with my RVing friends Barb and Dave Rees, lunch with them at Lund, and then lots of walking in Powell River with my dogs. The Willingdon Beach Campground, which I had booked at Barb’s suggestion, was working...

We had almost given up on seeing Alert Bay, but decided to try again on Day 28 of the trip, May 23rd, before heading south. The ferry Bowen Queen approaching Port McNeill dock at 08:20. Normally the smaller Quadra Queen II is on this run, but she’s out of...

We only had 21 hours at Telegraph Cove but absolutely loved it, as the 44 photos in this post will probably show. This is one place that we definitely will return to for a few days. The next time, it will be in September, while the orca are still...

On Days 21 and 22 of the trip, May 16 and 17, we continued our look around Campbell River, which we had taken an immediate liking to. On the way out to Elk Falls Provincial Park, I had noticed that we passed by Haig-Brown Heritage House, and we stopped...

We didn’t get much touristing done on Day 11. We did have a good look at Sidney while working to get our final plumbing problem in the RV repaired. Oceanside RV Resort gets top marks except in the wifi department. Our site, #16, is quite close to one of...
