We arrived in Nanaimo, BC in the early part of August. Within a short time of setting up, both Mike and I agreed that this was the nicest RV site that we had set up on, in close to 2 years.
The park is called the Living Forest Oceanside RV Park; and it certainly lives up to it's name! We have a two tiered campsite with the rig parked on the upper level and our fire pit on the lower level. We are completely surrounded by large cedar trees and can see Nanaimo Bay from our site. We are surrounded by roads; and cannot have a neighbour! It makes for good privacy.
A week or so after arriving here, our good friends, Sally and John; came for a visit. It was nice to see some familiar faces and get one of Sally's infamous hugs. While they were here, we took the opportunity to drive over to the west coast of Vancouver Island.
On the way, we stopped at Cathedral Grove; and saw some of BC's oldest and largest douglas firs. They were massive! This area is known for it's rain; and judging by the moss on everything; I believe it.
We continued on to Long Beach; and enjoyed a picnic lunch on the beach with the Pacific Ocean as our view. Sally and I also braved it; and strolled in the water for a bit - pretty cold!
We ended our drive in the roaring metropolis of Tofino. It took us all of 10 minutes to drive around the whole community 3 or 4 times! On the way back, we stopped so I could get a photo of me and my namesake creek, well at least the sign.
We also did some blackberry picking while they were here; as this place has 1000's of bushes along the river; they were quite tasty on the cheesecake and pancakes.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Sally and Johnny.
We spent labour day weekend up at Salmon Point; with our newly acquired friends - Liz and Lorne; and Barb, Marjorie and Alyssa. We drove up on Saturday for dinner and a campfire. And went back again on Monday to tow Barb's 5th wheel back to Victoria for her. She doesn't own a truck; so we volunteered our services; and got a whole truck load of wood (twice) and a nice dinner for our efforts. When you meet really nice people along the way; it's nice to help out.
