Okanagan Valley
It is starting to get cold. And it is time to head South and head down, both of which should make it warmer. We took the fast road over to Kelowna, stopping just short to visit the tourist information center.…
Molly Roadtrips
These are some of the longer and more adventurous journeys that we have made in Molly. We also take Molly on shorter trips, and these are categorized in a different section of our blog. Goto HOME > SHORT TRIPS > MOLLY to see them.
Northern Lakes
We did a week long driving tour visiting a good number lakes. We spent 2 nights at Big Bar Lake, 2 nights at Howard Lake and 1 night each at Crooked, Green and Stump Lakes. Nearly all of these lakes…
99 North
From Whistler we headed North along the 99. We stopped and hiked up to Joffre Lakes. A nice hike and the rain stayed away. We continued north and stopped by a river for the night. It was a cold night…
Whistler
Saturday to Monday, September 16th to 18th, 2023 Spent the night on the driveway of our Friends house. We wandered into the town for a memory-lane walk. Whistler has not changed that much since since our last visit, which was…
Vancouver Island to Whistler
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 Time to leave the central west coast. Mainly because we had a date with a parts man in Courtenay. The motor on our electrical steps is on the verge of failing, and time for a new…
Tofino and Ucluelet
TUESDAY through Friday, September 12th to 15th, 2023 There is one National Park on Vancouver Island, and that is the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Either side of the park are the townships of Tofino and Ucluelet. The drive is…
Tahsis and Gold River Highway
Sunday and Monday, September 10th and 11th, 2023 It was a bit of a trek to get to Tahsis, but we had heard good things. Along the way we stopped at Upana Caves, which were modest but a nice diversion…
Lake Klaklakama
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH AND 9TH, 2023 Short drive to Woss to resupply and then onto Lake Klaklakama for the night. The second day was beautiful and sunny so we stayed for two nights. The first night we talked…
Telegraph Cove

Georgie Lake
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH AND 6TH, 2023 Went on some backroads and beach walking to see the lighthouse on the northern tip of Malcolm Island, before heading back for coffee and the ferry to the “Island”. Once there we…
Malcolm Island
Sunday and Monday, September 3rd and 4th, 2023 So again, we set off to park and sleep outside a house of a person we had never met. We took the slightly slower and apparently more scenic road, the 19A, up…
Comox Valley
Friday and Saturday, September 1st and 2nd, 2023 Comox is in the center of the island and not far from where we camped the previous night. Along the way we stopped at a super nice beach to do a bit…
Vancouver Island and Local Advice
Wednesday, August 30th, 2023 We headed North to Vancouver, a little over 4 hours away from Seattle. First time for Molly outside of the United States. We crossed at Peace Arch and the whole process, including waiting in the queue…
Lads Adventure in the Backcountry
Dropped Caroline off at Salt Lake City airport, for her flight to Seattle (via San Francisco). Then headed South to create a rendezvous point for the start of the Lad’s weekend. The plan was to meet somewhere near Salt Lake…
Bryce Canyon National Park
We had a few days before Caroline was scheduled to fly out of Salt Lake City, so we squeezed in Bryce Canyon National Park. But the drive there was also amazing. We spotted so many times to enjoy the scenery,…
