The cold and snow at Cluxewe Resort arrived with a vengeance. I was inside my RV, heater under my feet, looking out through a crack in the blinds, trying to keep all the heat I could near me.  The world … Continue reading →

My first boondocking spot had been a great success. The snow had even mostly melted, leaving me hoping I could avoid further winter woes, but it was not to be. My shaky internet signal downloaded a forecast of snow and … Continue reading →

Posted on Friday, 2021-Dec-31st by ralph

It turns out I left Naka Creek just in time as the mostly rain forecast turned into mostly snow, which turned into mostly ice. Good thing I booked a week at Broughton Campsite, the roads were crap everywhere off the … Continue reading →

Sayward looking for tourists

Posted on Tuesday, 2021-Dec-21st by ralph

I picked Sayward for my next glamping spot (full hookups) because it was in a good location for driving to several possible destinations beyond, and it was cheap. I wasn’t really expecting much in terms of sights to see or … Continue reading →

Little Bear Bay: lots of rain and another mouse

Posted on Friday, 2021-Dec-17th by ralph

I spent my next day at Little Bear Bay inside.  I woke up to rain, and this continued until the late afternoon. It only really stops just before sunset, which is just a slow darkening of the skies to black. … Continue reading →

Unexpected discoveries

Posted on Tuesday, 2021-Dec-14th by ralph

It would seem I was not going to escape the effects of the BC floods entirely. A thirty litre cap on fuel purchases had put a slight crimp in my travel plans. I looked at the mileages and fuel stops … Continue reading →

What I really thought of Living Forest Campground

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 →
