VANCOUVER ISLAND: day 23
Not much happened today, other than driving. We drove down so many forest service roads, only to find road blocks right at the last turn. Every route we picked ended up with the same fate; road block after road block. Slight worries of running out of fuel again, but this time no phone signal and zero hope of anyone passing us for at least 3 days. Fortunately, the views were mostly 10/10, otherwise it would’ve been miserable on top of the frustration.
On our last dribble of fuel, we finally found a successful route and made it to Campbell River. We spent the majority of the evening doing even more driving to try find a camp for the night. Every single spot, sneaky or paid campsite, was full. It was practically night before we found one, squeezing between two overbearing RV set ups on the edge of a nice enough lake.
In sum, lots and lots of aimless driving, one finished podcast series and two v grumpy people. Goodnight.
