Phew. A big day driving a lot of different kinds of road!
The Kona is a little dusty but no worse for wear. 492km total with a 20min fast charge (60-80%) in Port Renfrew was enough to make the loop.
Surprise visited family in Victoria too. A good day!

Anniversary mini road trip to Nitinat River, #PortRenfrew and Botanical beach! Took the back road through #lakecowichan to Botanical Beach, now headed to #yyj and backnup the Island. Currently using the free charger to top up before the home leg.

We got to visit a friend who was house-sitting at a place in #LakeCowichan today. The visit was good and they’d trimmed a bunch of red willow that I got to bring home. I use it in tea to help alleviate sore joints and muscles. #Indigenous #medicine #pnw #VancouverIsland
#LakeCowichan partially shrouded in #fog. I miss seeing the fog over the lake. When I lived in Youbou for a few years, the mystical lake fog formed often & it was beautiful to see.
Lake Cowichan (in #Nitinaht language- ʕaʔk̓ʷaq c̓uubaʕsaʔtx̣) is the traditional ancestral home to the #Indigenous c̓uubaʕsaʔtx̣ people.
Cowichan River flows through the middle of the town.

**UPDATE: RIDE FOUND! Thank you for boosting, everyone!!!**
Can folks in & around #VictoriaBC please boost this post for me to expand reach to locals?
My driver for my Feb. 24-28 trip to #LakeCowichan is now very sick & won't be better anytime soon.
I need to find a replacement driver. I need transport from my South #Saanich home to LC on Feb. 24 - anytime after 1pm. I'll need transport from LC back home on Feb. 28 - anytime before noon.
I can pay driver to transport me there/back & help me load & unload luggage. I'm unable to use the IslandLink bus service because they don't have routes to LC.
If you can help me with transportation, please DM or, send me a message on Signal:

2016.
When I lived in #Youbou - one block from #LakeCowichan & the area was totally flooded for a few days. This #dock access had its whole boardwalk go underwater.

Missing Man in Lake Cowichan, BC - Owen Weld, 19 - #BC #LakeCowichan

Summer 2016; I was living in #Youbou - South #Cowichan - #LakeCowichan was steps from backyard. Orange skies & smoky air from #wildfires on #VancouverIsland & #BritishColumbia mainland.
2023's worst so far. 2017/2018 was scary too. #BCNDP #BCgovernment & #GovernmentOfCanada & their #ecocide pals fueled growing wildfires(& the floods to follow).

I had an amazing day out in #nature today. I watched the treetops sway with the breeze, listened to the birds sing all with the river as a backdrop. My nervous system thanks me. #zen #beautifulBC #LakeCowichan

@moliver @RickiTarr Also, I had a #celebrity #chicken who made the local #LakeCowichan #newspaper for being a super good pooper at #YoubouRegatta in #ChickenBingo 🤣 That was Scarlett O'Layer - named after Scarlett O'hara. I never made the news there but my chicken did 😂
I had a hen named Goldie Hawn too & loved telling ppl they're buying Goldie Hawn's buttnuggets 😂
Here's a younger #bull #elk - from my past homesteading life, in #Youbou on the shores of #LakeCowichan
You can hear me tell trespassers to stay out of my yard. They ignored my no trespassing sign & lifted rope gate to try to get closer to the elk. Not cool on both fronts. Don't try getting close & respect wildlife with distance. These elk can easily maim/kill humans if spooked & feel threatened. Leave them alone!
#Today, on our day off, we did a loop through #LakeCowichan to #PortRenfrew #VancouverIsland BC #Canada One place we stopped was #LizardLake and No! We did not go skinny dipping Brrr!
