We opted to spend a whole day in Victoria because we now had the time to do it. It’s another gorgeous day just perfect for this. Our campground today is on the harbour in Esquimault (pronounced Eskwymalt) a few miles west and provided a beautiful view of the City in the evening. Our RV parkContinue reading “June 14 Victoria BC and Salish RV park”

We had a rather lazy start to the morning with coffee and a little bit of breakfast in the house we stayed in last night. While it had a superb view and gave us a gorgeous sunset, the house itself was rather odd. The master bedroom had the hardest mattress we’ve ever slept on. WeContinue reading “June 13 Nanaimo BC to Goldstream Provincial Park (Victoria, BC)”

Well, today started off very promising with bright blue skies and warm weather. They really need some rain here. One of the things we really wanted to do was to spend two days exploring Pacific Rim National Park which is on the other side of Vancouver Island from where we are now. There is aContinue reading “June 13 Campbell River to Nanaimo, BC”

Despite not getting into camp until after midnight, we were both awake early. Not wanting to stay any longer than necessary in our ‘parking lot’ campsite, we packed up quickly and decided to have breakfast somewhere more scenic. We stopped at Port McNeil just a few miles down the road and pulled off near theContinue reading “June 11 Port Hardy to Campbell River, Elk Falls Provincial Park”

Very early start today as we needed to be at the Ferry dock by 5:30 am. Our campsite, such as it was, was only 5 minutes away. We packed day packs the night before. We had time to make coffee in the ferry parking lot before embarking. Not many people on board today. We madeContinue reading “June 10 Prince Rupert BC to Port Hardy BC via BC Ferries”

Another travel day  today to get to Prince Rupert where we will board the ferry tomorrow to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. The scenery was spectacular. We visited a couple of interesting places along the way. Hagwilget Canyon Bridge To get to Hazelton, you need to cross the highest suspension bridge in North America overContinue reading “June 9 Telkwa, BC to Prince Rupert, BC”

Today officially starts the second half of our trip. We really enjoyed the 4 days/5 nights in Prince George with family. Now we will explore the rest of British Columbia. We have rearranged our schedule somewhat as we have decided to skip the time we had originally set aside for the City of Vancouver toContinue reading “June 8 Prince George BC to Tyhee Lake Provincial Park, Telkwa, BC”

We have been having a wonderful time out here with family, family we don’t get to see all that often because of the distance. We are the first family  visitors, other than a daughter, to have been here in a very long time and we are being treated royally. We are staying in a veryContinue reading “June 4 – 7 Prince George, BC”

Today is another travel day … about 5 hours to Prince George where we will be spending 5 days with my husband’s brother and his family. The drive out of Jasper National Park was beautiful. It’s another warm, sunny day. We saw a couple of black bears along the road. As we exited the parkContinue reading “June 3 Jasper National Park to Prince George, British Columbia (BC)”
