STRATHCONA PROVINCIAL PARK.
Day 278 – It rained during the night and some this morning. There was supposed to be some sun today, so we drove to the areas of Strathcona that we could get to by road – areas we hadn’t already visited. We packed a lunch and headed out before 9:30 a.m. It was cloudy and 57 degrees.

It was nice and quiet when it was raining, but as soon as the rain stopped and until it started up again, it was like a bus-loads of children were let out of their cages at once with all that pent up energy, racing through the campground. We were never a child like that were we? Ho ho.

Day 276 – After our day of rest it was time to get back out and explore. There is a road, the Tree to Sea Road, that leads from Gold River to the Tahsis Inlet and from there, the open Ocean. At the end of this road is the town of Tahsis, the only settlement along this road.

They just went about their business of napping, playing, eating, and repeat. Without any signal at all, we have no idea what the weather’s going to do, so we’re just taking our chances. Today we spent the entire afternoon in the screened tent. The high was 71 degrees; there was some sun and some clouding.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERNIE!!! WE WERE THINKING ABOUT YOU. HUGS!
Day 273 – Rob took a walk around the campground this morning while I stumbled around the RV – it was morning after all and it takes me a long time to wake up. The girls had their morning rampage around the RV, then collapsed for a day of napping. Twice a day they act like flying squirrels and race around, playing king of the RV jungle. It’s amusing. Maybe it’s their form of hunting since this usually goes on right before or after a meal. Wee haw. It’s really funny if we’re outside and we hear all this thumping and banging from inside.

From: Stamp River Provincial Park, Port Alberni, British Columbia.
To: Strathcona Provincial Park, Buttle Lake Campground, west of Campbell River.
Day 272 – It was 57 degrees this morning when we got up, cloudy and humid. Maybe we’ll have a signal at our new campground; that would be nice, but doubtful. Strathcona Provincial Park is located in a large remote mountainous area. But we can certainly hope for a better connection there.
