We stayed at the Seven Cedars casino parking lot yesterday, had a short drive up from Little Creek Casino. This is a route we like as off the main highway, beautiful views, and much less traffic.
Ferry crossing from Port Angeles to Victoria is usually very easy, loading and off loading is quick, boarder check in also quick in Victoria, then a short drive home to Port Alberni. We are all ready for this today.
I woke at 4:30am, birds are happily chirping outside as I write, I'm guessing it's the light's here that gets em up early. Still, nice to hear, along with the frogs last night as we were coming back from the casino. We didn't win, surprise 😂🤣, maybe next time?
Today we get to our destination for the next 4 months, Arrowvale campground in Port Alberni Were looking forward to this place, as we get to see the spring turn to summer here. Animals galore, cattle, goats 🐐 , chickens🐔🐔🐔🐣🐣 , the rooster 🐓, and we'll as birds chirping in the morning, and frogs croaking 🐸 🐸🐸 in the ponds. A home coming we always look forward to, Ann & Bob, and many regular faces we see here be nice to see again.
Easter dinner with Penny, Dax, & Jet will be nice too, last July since we have been with them. Friends we will see also this weekend, so many we miss while we are south will reconnect for the next few months.
Well drop Lyn off on our way through Port, say hi to her hubby Andrew, and make our way to Arrowvale, park our trailer, and settle in a bit before dinner tonight.
Funny how antispation gives to how you think it'll go, vs how it really does go. We all have an idea how the moment's will turn out, yet something different happens. That's what I really like about this life, u never really know! You can plan, yet there's always something different in the future that your planning hasn't taken into account, as you can't forsee everything.
Today's trip home will start out seeing the Parliament Building's as we leave the ferry terminal. The trip up the island I know well, what will have changed?
Duncan farms, Naniamo city and view of the ocean, Nanoose and close to the water views here. I remember our first trip in our first 5th wheel trailer, Charlotte, as Memere named her. Stopped into the Petrocan station there, in the pouring rain, a young woman took the initiative to help me back up so I could get around the pumps, my first time at how to fuel up without getting in a jam. It was pouring so much I couldn't see what was behind me, she stood in the rain, helped me, made sure I did hit anyone, stopped others from coming behind me.
I stopped in later, on another trip, gave her $10, for helping when many would walk the other way. I never forgot this lesson, or people that help us along the way.
I can already feel the moisture of the coast, smell the smells of home, even the not so pleasant smells, hear all the sounds of Port Alberni, the look as we drive by Cameron lake, I'll look again at Whiskey Creek thinking are they ever going to rebuild the gas station with the best ice-cream cones on the island?
The trees in Cathedral Grove, we pass by looking, and not really paying attention, always love this spot. ❤️
Polly's up now, coffee ☕️ is good, Lyns up now too, tge fussing starts, soon we will travel 😀, soon we'll be in line for the ferry and our final trip north will begin.
Easter Sunday travels, what a great day to travel home.
Love ❤️ our life.
