Days 30 and 31, May 25th and 26th, weren’t very eventful in a blog way. They were days of short drives and another family visit, but we ended up in Nanaimo for an in-depth look at a bit of the city. We really had a hard time pulling ourselves...

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...

After finishing our too-short look around Campbell River on the morning of Day 22 (May 17), we drove north on the Island Highway (BC Highway 19), with no overnight destination in mind. Late in the day, we decide that Telegraph Cove would be perfect – and it was. The...

Choosing where to stay is one of the main factors that determine how much you’ll enjoy a given place. Seeing the city of Campbell River was the reason we were staying 2 nights, so getting an RV park close to everything was important. That made Thunderbird RV Park the...

Days 18 and 19, May 13 and 14, were quiet days, re-connecting with family and friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in decades. It was a tight squeeze getting the motorhome into my oldest sister’s yard, but we got it done once I realized that there was a...

On Day 17, May 12th, we reluctantly left Long Beach and went to visit family in Qualicum Bay for 3 days. Before leaving the area, though, we stopped for a look at Ucluelet. The day started off wet again. Very wet! I’ve said that Green Point Campground gets top...

The morning of Day 15, May 10th, was the first of 3 mornings that we’d wake up at Green Point. The plan for the day was the explore the area, and make the 20-km drive to Tofino to book a boat trip to Hot Springs Cove. Our first impression...

We began Day 14, May 9th, at the Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park campground, where we’d spent the night. A tour of McLean Mill National Historic Site was the main event of the day, which ended at Pacific Rim National Park. Rathtrevor Beach is one of the largest government campgrounds...

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...

On Day 9 of the trip, May 4th, Cathy joined us, and we took a ferry to Vancouver Island to explore for 3-4 weeks. It takes a while to acclimatize to the busy-ness of the Fraser Valley. Luckily, the traffic was reasonably light except for one jam-up getting on...
