We left cool Tofino separately in our
RVs and headed east toward
warmer inland Port Alberni - our meeting spot (Walmart parking lot again). We (Bruce & Gerry) stopped at the Coulson Martin
Mars
Tanker Base on Sprout Lake just before
Port
Alberni - we had time for a brief tour and picked up some souvenirs and photos.
www.martinmars.com. After a quick McD lunch we continued
towards Saanich and our next
campsite. Part of the fun on this journey is never knowing exactly how to get to the next site and what it has in store for us. Oceanside RV resort was another unknown. Each of us carefully
plotted our courses using our GPS and online Google Maps (if available) and deftly made our way. What a pleasant surprise we had when we arrived. All sites were spacious and gravel with new
tables and new clean washrooms. And it was warm! The ocean was close but our view was just a glimpse. B & G arrived first with Dave & Yvonne then Ted & Elaine. None had major problems finding the place. So we waited for Al & Kathy - we called on cell phones and
our 2-way radios. Nothing. We were getting worried but A & K tended to run on a different track than us old timers so we gave them some leeway. I will let Kathy tell the tale of Wrong Way Al.
