Sushi in the Cathedral Grove - Part 2

Onwards we drove to Nanaimo, looking up the popular spots along the way. Gen plotted a route with stops in Neck Point Park and Pipers Lagoon Park. Very scenic views of the ocean. 



Next stop, the ferry terminal, our fourth ferry ride of this trip and we were first ones off the boat to start heading north. Google maps took us through Vancouver on our way to Whistler, so we decided to take a drive through Stanley Park. Vancouver is spectacular in the middle of Mountains and Oceans. 


We continued up the sea-to-sky highway as dusk settled on us. The views were spectacular, but we knew we’d have to drive back in the daytime to fully appreciate them. 

At this point our accommodation plan broke down a bit. We were going to stay in Pat’s driveway but there was some question about how we could fit. We started looking for other accommodation. Gen wanted to drive up a very steep hill but with no one in the mood to push, we decided to pass. Further up the road, we were driving around a campsite in the dark, looking for an open spot, when a stump at the side of the road hit the corner of the trailer. Another barrier to selling the trailer. We found a lovely spot underneath the power lines and set-up camp at overflow area of the Cal-Cheak Recreation site.

The morning was stifling hot, we were looking forward to the swim.   We drove to the visitor centre at Lake Mead Recreation Centre. We could see Lake Mead on the way. The water was well below the high-water line on the rocks. At the visitor centre we got our passport stamped, filled our water bottles, and received junior ranger booklets. The air conditioning was so nice we set up the kids to work on their booklets and hung around. The kids finished up enough activities that they were sworn in by a very nice ranger before we left.   We decided to go see the Hoover Dam first. We dropped the trailer in the parking lot. We heard it might need to be opened at the security checkpoint and we couldn’t be bothered. The H...
