126 km’s in a day

In the evening of August 3rd we invited a couple of men to share our site. They were from Germany.
Father and son from Germany who came to the island to do some hiking. Emil just finished grade 10 and his Dad, Thomas.
Some beautiful views from the road, about 20 km’s north of Campbell River.

When you can’t see above the trees get the drone out.
Looking the other way.
Port Hardy is the final destination, distance keeps getting lower with each sign we see.
Wondering what’s around us.

On Aug. 3rd in the evening as we we’re enjoying supper. We noticed two men talking to a park employee about getting a campsite. This happened right in front of our campsite and knew there were no sites available. We felt the right thing to do was to invite them to share our site as the park employee was not helping. It was interesting hearing the story of the two from Germany who had walked from town as they missed the bus to Port Hardy. They have plans to hike the northern island. They only arrived from Germany the day before.

August 4th started with cycling at 7:15 AM and ended at 8:30 PM. Over 13 hours with breaks in between. Some hills were over 10 km’s long, made an exhausting day. It felt so good to complete our cycling goal for the day.

The road was not as isolated as expected. There was a gas station I did not know about, 60 km’s in. Rest spots where you meet people who give you cold water.

Day finished at a rest stop a few km’s east of Woss.
