  1. #SilentSunday
    At one of many free #wilderness #RecreationalSites on the #AliceLakeLoop #backroads route.

    I prefer backroads sites to staffed, groomed camping sites. There's loads of awesome recreational spots all over #VancouverIsland. The more isolated spots are on the East Coast & North Island. South Island spots are nice too but they get far too busy for me to enjoy in warmer months. Many spots in North Island are still fairly empty, even in mid-Summer.

  6. The end of the road trip?

    The culture of 'the drive' requires sisyphean road maintenance, especially in a climate emergency.

    Mobile sprawl as a form of 'recreation' eliminates the landscape. It is the annihilation of space and time. Motorists want to get from their door to the spectacle in the fastest way possible. The 'in-between space' viewed through the car window vanishes.

    The pleasure cruise from A to B does not just degrade the landscape, but also eradicates possibilities of a livable planet. The overuse by the masses in their fossil fuel boxes makes the hillsides crumble, leads to landslides and erosion. After flash flooding, drought and heatwaves the roads have to be rebuilt over and over again.

    Here are three cases of 'scenic drives':
    California, Victoria and NSW

    Extreme weather is changing California. These road trips show how
