Situated near Hope at the foot of the Coquihalla Highway is the Othello Tunnels and the Kettle Valley Railway. This is a pretty awesome place to visit to see the rugged BC landscape and learn a little about the its rich history. Othello Campground is a great place to stay where you can just walk to the tunnels. Continue reading Othello Tunnels
It’s been a long time since I have ran regularly and I figure it’s time to do it again. Running 6 miles around False Creek today I felt like I was a tourist in my own town. It is so beautiful here. Continue reading False Creek, Vancouver
This was not a very exciting run although signs about wolves gave my heart a spike. I mapped it so to access the BCBR path to photograph the riders. Having ran 2 days already after a long sabbatical, I figure I should take it easy and make it short. For interest I carried 2 heavy camera and made it a climb training. The horse trail … Continue reading Sunview Rd.: Sunshine Coast Hwy
This area has many service roads and rather few bugs at this time of the year. Continue reading Hammil Lake: Powell River
Wandering around Duck Lake, Powell River. I told Allison Tai many times to tell me where she’s going, map out the route, bring food, water etc etc etc. So what do I do? Yes I mapped a route only to realize I can’t use it because the van rented cannot access the start point. That’s okay I said to myself I will just stay along the lake … Continue reading Duck Lake, Powell River BC
We drove to Port Douglas when leaving Cairns and then made way to the tablelands on the interior. The drive to Port Douglas was amazing and what I had hoped for the drive from Sydney to Cairns. The route to Port Douglas was along the coast one a very twisted road; this is very much like the sea to sky highway from Vancouver to Squamish. … Continue reading Tablelands
We had a rough night looking for a place to sleep before arriving at Cairns. The location descriptions we read were not correct and had to drive an hour more than expected. I hate driving in the dark, especially in Aus. Arriving in Cairns was a relief and we were glad there would be no driving for the next 3 days. Unfortunately there would not … Continue reading From Cairns
Our first RV destination of the trip was to and around New Castle. The intention to camp cheaply meant being resourceful in finding places to sleep and shower. The sleep part was relatively easy as there are various overnight pullouts, a rare few with showers. For showering alternatives, Alli looked to the many public outdoor swimming pools she remember from her year long stay here … Continue reading Showers on the road
The Australia Zoo is definite the best I have visited; Dallas was a far away 2nd. The Africa section and the Crocoseum definitely stood out. The Crocoseum had a fanstastic show that gave an overview of Australia wildlife. It also exhibited an exciting display of crocodile feeding. The interaction with the kangaroos won the girls over. Continue reading Australia Zoo
May 14th we ventured off to wander Australia with a purpose. There was a Toughest Mudder event an the OCR Enduro World Championship there, 4 weeks apart. The family will venture there to support mom while she raced. In between events we would visit the Great Barrier Reef and explore the areas on route. All together there would be over 5,300km of travel by camper … Continue reading Wandering Australia
