Grasshopper

Found this today, it’s called Coral Fungus….very interesting

It is a long weekend here and the busiest of the year for travel and tourists. There is also high heat warnings just about everywhere in British Columbia. So we got off the roads and found the coolest place in the province at the north end of an island. We are at this strange resort/campground place. It is really chilled but it will be a long long weekend with all these people around us.....normally we are not around so many people, but there isn't too much to choose from in this location. Time to get a beer and watch the campground show......never a dull moment with life on the road!

A new blog post is up on my website. This one was a bit hard for me to write but I feel better for it. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/mom-s-along-for-the-drive Also a new short video up with some of my travel moments from May.

Nice shots!

It was about 12 degrees with high winds, so it felt colder. But after riding a motorcycle in almost freezing temps it is manageable, but not as fun on the face without a helmet…

Hello! Hope everyone is well! Sharing the latest post from my travels. I find it difficult to find the time to prepare these posts while I am living on the road, but I am always happy when I am done. As an old lady, I need all the help I can get when it comes to remembering all the adventures. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/parking-lots-trains-windy-paddles

The new post in my travelling blog is all about my visit to Marble Canyon Provincial Park. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/marble-canyon-provincial-park

So I added your pic, but I am not sure if you will see it. Don't worry, I know you are there.....

Thank you for your call sir, we have looked into your inquiry and found a solution. Please reply to this comment with your desired profile image and I will have our team add it to your profile. Again, thank you for flying with the Grasshopper and enjoy your ride! ...ok, maybe too much fresh air for me lately.... @Slowlycatchymonkey

Hey thanks, it is nice to have someone worry about me being eaten by bears. . Went for backroad drive the other day and we saw 5 black bears and 1 young grizzly bear, really fun when you are in a vehicle. Funny enough I just went around my first roundabout the other week, didn't know we had them....but we do!

It is a small off-road trailer we can sleep in and it has a pull out kitchen in the back with an awning over top for protection. We can carry more water, fuel and tools as well. It has great storage so we can free up some space in our vehicle. Very excited, but a bit nervous....

Happy Birthday! Hope the day brings you smiles and the year ahead brings you lots of fun adventures!

hmmmmm, this is new to me too, I think, ummmmm, you need to.....ya, no idea.....let me see if I can figure it out.....lol Regardless, THANKS for joining up!

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback, you have a way of making me smile!

At first not so good, the trailer we would really like is a wait of 6 to 8 months to have it built. They have become really popular here and there are only poorly made ones available. Plus it is the start of the camping season here... Then we went to this big RV place that had lots of the big trailers, just too much for us. Then the sales dude said they had a small used trailer in the back corner behind some stuff. It was just sitting back there all lonely. Funny enough it was just what we were looking for small, affordable, rugged and I like that it is used, as it is the first time we are driving with a trailer so I am sure it will get a few scratches...... I am a bit nervous about driving with it....I will just need to not be a spaz....and go slow! We pick it up on Tuesday. It wouldn't have happened but we had to stay somewhere for a week to handle some stuff and so we were able to make the purchase. It's funny, the place we are staying is called Horsefly and the trailer in called a TigerMoth, what the hell with the bugs....lol

I'm on a roll, two posts in two days. Wow, what you can do with an internet connection for more than 20 minutes..... https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/finally-heading-north

I finally found some time to post to my travel blog. It is mostly so I can remember my journey as the old brain can not be trusted anymore...lol Anyways if you are wanting a short story and some pics, stop by for a read. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/alleys-rivers-wooden-monsters

I agree, DIY is cool. I converted a cargo van into a really nice camper a few years ago. Unfortunately I was not able to use it as I had wanted too and had to sell it. Good luck with your project.

We had to make a change in plans as the weather here is very cold for Spring. Where we were headed had fresh snow the other day so we decided to hang out at a lovely B&B in the countryside for a few days. Then we are either headed to Prince George, British Columbia....or into the next Province (Alberta) to look at a travel trailer.......that's what happens when you get an internet connection after a week, you start shopping.....lol We are looking at maybe something like this...
