Port Alice Oceanfront RV Park

HAPPY BRITISH COLUMBIA DAY!

Day 294 – Today is BC Day. It’s a Provincial holiday. Each Province in Canada has its own day, a holiday, different from the other Provincial’s days. And there’s also Canada Day, a BIG Canadian holiday.

Day 293 – It cooled down a little today; the high was 80 degrees and there was a breeze. Manageable, at least. We took a drive to the end of the paved road and onto gravel roads. Up into the hills, around the Neroutsos Inlet, we had wanted to get to a lookout to the “Panoramic Viewpoint” that was on a map.

Day 292 – We had more of a breeze this morning, so we were hoping it would be cooler, too. The forecast was a high of 77 degrees, but from past experience we knew it would be wrong. We stayed in the RV all day where it was cooler, except we ran a couple of errands after lunch. It reached 88 degrees later this afternoon, then the temperature began dropping. We think the heat wave here is over; glad we weren’t at home where they’ve been having a long hot spell. A family in a rented RV occupied one of the sites next to us, so it’s much more crowded now. Tomorrow we hope to take a long drive.

A BOAT RIDE.

Day 291 – This morning Rob walked across the street to the “InletFront” and took some morning pictures. The campground was quiet and the water on Neroutsos Inlet was still. (And no, it is not oceanfront, per se. Neroutsos Inlet flows to the Pacific Ocean 20 km from the campground.)

TRAVEL DAY

From: Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge andRV Park, Quadra Island BC.

To: Port Alice Oceanfront RV Park, Port Alice BC.

Day 290 – After 11 nights in one campground we were a little rusty this morning going through our packing up routine. We were up at 6 a.m. and we departed the wonderful Tsa-Kwa-Luten Campground at 8:10. It was 64 degrees with hazy sunlight. We had hoped to get to the ferry terminal early enough to make the 9 a.m. ferry to Campbell River.
