Posted on Friday, 2021-Dec-24th by ralph

Posted on Friday, 2021-Dec-10th by ralph

Having stayed in Living Forest Campground for three weeks, I had a good chunk of time to see what the campground was like, at least in the off season. Keep in mind, I’m not evaluating things that are not running … Continue reading →

A sunny day in central Nanaimo

Posted on Tuesday, 2021-Dec-7th by ralph

The forecast was for sun all day today, with no chance of rain. I figured this would be my best chance to travel into Nanaimo on my kick scooter and see what there was to see. The campground was only … Continue reading →

The stuff around where I am

Posted on Friday, 2021-Dec-3rd by ralph
