Great news for travellers to the Island, #PortAlberni, #Tofino #Ucluelet, and the West Coast!
#Tseshaht :cisaaath: #Hupacasath :hupacasath: and #Huuayaht :huuayaht: are partnering to build the first new hotel built in Port Alberni since the Best Western Barclay in 1980!
It'll be a Wyndham microtel similar to the one just north of Ladysmith with a small pool and waterslide. It will be located next to #BCHwy4 at Walmart.

Huh… ICBC (the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia - BC's public auto-insurance corp) sent out an email explaining the rules and best practices for using a roundabout.
We're getting a new roundabout on an important intersection of Highway 4 in #PortAlberni. They're building it now at Hwy4 and Beaver Creek Road. Quite the project!
This is a handy primer/reminder on how to use roundabouts. Most people around here seem either clueless or terrified of them. lol

Sitting here in a lineup on #bchwy4 for some road work.
Our 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric just passed 200,000km this week! I got a snap of the odometer at palindrome 199991 which was satisfying. But a sudden snow storm/hail storm prevented me from capturing 200k and 200002 officially, but that's ok.
I just made its *first* appointment to have its brake pads replaced. Amazing longevity on these EVs for brakes. I really should have done it about 10k ago but still.
Great car. Age is starting to catch up a bit.
It needs the EV battery coolant flushed/replaced this year, and some small stuff is wearing:
The passenger side seat heater is on the fritz, and one of the door lock mechanisms is extra loud.
But all things considered, for the amount of kilometres in the past 5 years (really more like 3 due to pandemic), and the addition of the utility trailer, it's doing great! #EV #Kona #Hyundai #Electric #carlife

I have been wanting to take a picture of this display ever since the owner of the junkyard in Errington, BC on #bcHwy4 erected it last week.
The time and care he put into this is just 🧑🍳 💋
The flags. The sign. The toilet. Amazing.
😂 😂
The dinosaur was already there. It’s a cool spot obviously the owner is an artist.

Another favourite #bchwy4 pitstop on the way home is Beaufort Provincial Park on Cameron Lake.

Apparently today was an eventful day for white Teslas in #portalberni 😆
This parking job in the very same very tight/busy parking lot earned this white Tesla a post on s**t parkers of #portalberni FB group today (not by me). 😂 #tesla #baddrivingAnd going back to our x-Can trip with the near exact same trailer, we never once blocked a travel lane while charging. 😝 This is a skill/courtesy issue. 😝 There isn’t even anything in the trailer, that tarp is going to blow away! 😂

How would you like to see a 300 year-old tree? Oh sorry it's not standing. It's in a truck. The #BCElxn2024 is over. Time to start shipping out the old growth trees again. I am following this truck on the highway right now 😠 😠 🌳 🌳
edited to add: I didnt think of it at the time cuz it's my normal commute, but remember the 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremonies with the big trees in Cathedral Grove? Ya, I'm literally driving through that park here. #irony

Addendum: When I drove by today I noticed some rope peaking out from under the billboard. So I investigated.
Chances my sign was removed by an unhappy member of the public: +89%
.... Mad enough to physically destroy a obviously new tarp and leave behind new rope and shackles.
(time needed for me to untie: about 30sec)
Oh well 🤷♂️

My cup overflows with anger toward these lying, deceiving, murderous, oil and gas companies. So this morning, I did something I've never done before in hopes the people coming home from their long weekends in Tofino and Ucluelet get the message.
Please Boost.

Saw a 'young’ #oldgrowth (80+ yrs?) or old second growth Douglas Fir on the drive today. This logging truck appears to be holding the entire tree. The bottom of the tree is the dark log on the top left. Resolution isn’t high enough to see the rings.
I admit I have a hard time with all of it these days. Mostly because I know none of the management is anywhere near sustainable or responsible from an ecosystem perspective.

Climate Change spoiled the secret of Cameron Lake Santa!

Oh crud. It finally happened. Storm induced rain and wind has brought down rocks on #bchwy4 due to the #CameronLakeFire this summer. Road now closed until morning. #PortAlberni #bcStorm #ClimateChange

Aaaaand... I just got an email from the government FOI team predictably asking for its legislated time extension to complete my request. The extension will stretch their response out to as long as November 10. I expect to receive a response on November 10 at 3PM. 😆
There should really be a requirement for the responding agency to 'show their work’ and prove that they aren't just responding to requests at the latest moment, rather than legitimately trying to complete the request in the original 30 days allotted.
I love that it says “in limited circumstances”... the time limit may be extended. Weird how common those “limited circumstances” are. I can't remember a request where they didn't ask for an extension.

Note: #bchwy4 has just closed due to high winds. Next update on DriveBC (viewable at alberniweather.ca) is at 4:30PM but I would not expect the winds to abate before tonight. #CameronLakeFire #Wind #PortAlberni #WestCoast #Tofino

Here I am in the #bchwy4 lineup at #cameronlakefire as I need to pop into work this morning to get something. The haze you might notice around the truck in front of me is brake and tire smoke as they slammed on the brakes around the corner wheb they met they back of the lineup. Today is the first day of the weekday work closures on the road as they try to stabilize the slopes that were burned above. It will be a huge job

Highway 4 eastbound currently backed up nearly to Whiskey Creek store (5km?) from Cameron Lake Park. Moved as far as Little Qualicum Falls. Currently at 20 minutes since #bchwy4 junction stoplight. Wouldn't be surprised if I am still 2 movements away from going through the #CameronLakeFire zone. #CanadaDay #PortAlberni #BCPoli #BCWildfire #WestCoast #Tofino #LongBeach

Timed my journey on #bchwy4. Westbound from the stoplight at Hwy4/4A junction it was 15min to the lineup that starts just after Cameron Lake Park (I was about 15th in line). We waited for eastbound to come through and started moving at 25min. Angel Rock @ 29min. Start of Eastbound stoppage at 31min. I ended the timer at Cathedral Grove at 35min.
Normally that entire journey would have taken about 15min. I hope they keep the weather station at Angel Rock! 🤓 smile😊

Something excellent may be about to come from this #bchwy4 closure and #cameronlakefire at least for our little fam.
We may head West on Saturday to Pacific Rim National Park and Long Beach. The rumour is that it is incredibly quiet... including the campground! Even with single lane traffic opening Saturday morning that is not likely to change much! 😱 😬 😁 We'll see. 🤞This would be a perfect bookend to last year's #EVCrossCanada to PEI. Hoping. -
Looks like they’re nearing completion on the measures to re-open #BCHwy4 to single lane traffic. This morning’s update includes this impressive picture of the two cranes holding the wire mesh that will keep rocks and other debris from falling onto the road. Obviously this is a temporary message just to allow traffic to at least move through in a controlled manner.

Will be making the trek over the detour tomorrow to pick up an important package. 6AM start! 300km in the EV. Probably a 6hr trip. It’s gonna be fun! Hopefully. 🚗 😆 #detour #bchwy4 #BCWildfire #CameronLakeFire #CameronBluffs #WestCoast #BCPoli

There was another rollover of a vehicle (a motor home) on the detour. For people who have never driven this route, or only ever driven a “normal” logging road, there is a surprise. About 40yrs ago, the section between Franklin and Nitinat was paved by the logging companies. It was an experiment. It failed, but the pavement was never removed. It is now extremely lumpy and distorted. If you go at any speed, you will launch, rollover, or lose control. PLEASE GO SLOW (30kph)

BC Wildfire has updated the page for #CameronLakeFire but the area remains the same at 208Ha and Out of Control. The Response discussion is also the same as last night and has a good description of efforts.

The current update as of 4:44PM from BC Wildfire has the fire at 140 hectares. No different from this morning. There are few changes. The Spokesperson did say on the Radio that they do not expect the road to open until a few days *AFTER* the fire has been brought under control or put out. With conditions as it is, that could be at least the weekend if not some time next week.
