Day 32: Port Hardy to Eve River

July 23, 2014

83 miles
6 hr 10 min ride time

Greetings from Vancouver Island!


We "got caught" for the first time.

A friendly woman who works at the boat landing rousted up with a "Up and at em, boys, there's no covernight camping."

We suspect she deals with a lot of that, considering how many hikers and cyclists and other nomadic people come off the boat at 11:00 pm every week.

We are in the Rain Capital of BC. So it is still raining, which makes a good environment for slugs. I took some pictures of these because they remind me of a beloved student of mine who, after learning what slugs are and seeing pictures of them, told me, "Oh! They're cute!"









Traffic is heavier here, and makes for not so fun riding. But we're going far and fast!

We were told it would be very remote, but so far it hasn't been. Then again, we are used to Alaska and Yukon standards of remoteness.
