We survived the night under the hydro lines. It was not a good place to spend the night as we were close to the highway. Did not sleep very well, so we were happy to get on the road again.
It was a day mixed with some trail riding, but most of the riding was on the trans-Canada highway. This made it a little stressful as you had be aware of how close you are to fast moving traffic.
We arrived at Parksville by mid-afternoon. At the campground they told us they were full. I explained to them in very tired looking way that we just needed a very small space for our tent. She looks at her computer screen and says “let me talk to my manager”. I love when people say that. A few minutes later she says they keep some spots open for emergency’s and they have one spot left. We were so happy to hear that.
During the evening we checked the sand sculptures in the downtown. We ordered supper and he asks which pop I want. I said Coke and he says “it’s the last one”. I thought to myself, this is the theme of the day.
