Our day started off with a crisp ocean breeze. Got up and went out for a walk down to the wharf (again). Post feeding we started to close up the fort and get the van ready for travel. Fresh water full. Black and grey tanks drained without incident. Double, triple check and away we go….
Hello rain. Not necessarily nice to see you again, but at least you mostly fell overnight and into the morning. With a strong desire to avoid wet clothes, I deferred my morning walk until the rain subsided. To good news is that rain end coincided with approaching low tide. Before the walk, breakfast dessert was…
By now you know the drill. Get up, walk, eat. This morning was far less windy than yesterday but a wee bit colder on the dry bulb. I walked further up the road past the bridge over the Shinimicas river. Only significant wildlife adjacent thing I saw was this poor moose who had obviously had…
A lovely chilly, but not too chilly start to the day. We woke up at a reasonable hour and I got up and did my morning walk down to the wharf. No fishing happening there anymore, but it’s a nice spot to go. Today was to be about property maintenance. I started by cutting the…
It rained. It rained a lot. Forecast said it was going to rain until about noon. We got up, I delayed my walk until better weather and we headed into town to provision. Yesterday, just as I was completing my walk, a young mother approached pushing a double side by side stroller. One of those…
Good morning says Amy! Time to get up and get moving. Mission: complete the #10 trail hike. But first a stop at the comfort station due to the aforementioned holding tank status being opposite the desired states. In my shower review of this park I failed to mention that there is an office for park…
Not too long ago offspring #2 and I were at Costco. Our list included the big old bucket of M&M peanuts as there really is no better van life snack. Except for the part that it is amazingly easy to eat through 1.3 kg of M&Ms quickly whilst only grabbing 3 at a time. I…
Howdy good people. So far we are 2/2 in free parking lot camping. Last night was lovely and quiet despite there being about 20 camping units parked with us. We were fairly well spread out so that probably helped. The wind died down eventually. The furnace kept us at a solid 14C (our set point)…
We had a lovely night sleep in our semi secret little parking lot in Levi. Turns out those other RVs were uninhabited so we decided some local people just park them there. I had a lovely walk along the Chemin De Fleuve up to a beautiful park called Parc de la Pointe Benson (and now…
I told a friend the other day that it has been a year since we went of a van trip. I was mistaken. The accurate statement is that it has been a year since we went on a van trip in our van. You may remember our epic van trip in Scotland in April 2026….
