Moving On to Pipers Lagoon, Nanaimo, BC, Canada

From Places I've wandered

Having eaten breakfast and left behind our exploration of Somenos Lake in Duncan BC it was now time for us to continue on the road towards Nanaimo and Pipers Lagoon

From Places I've wandered

From Places I've wandered

We had a brief detour through Ladysmith
From Places I've wandered

then continued down the highway and into Nanaimo where we stopped to stretch alongside Departure Bay

From Places I've wandered

Ferries come and go connecting Vancouver Island with Vancouver and the main continent of North America.

People explore local history
From Places I've wandered

and geese swim by
From Places I've wandered

hitting the road again we go up and around a bend saying good bye to Departure Bay
From Places I've wandered

and then arriving for a pause to collect gear and thoughts
From Places I've wandered

it's time to start
From Places I've wandered

Welcome to Pipers Lagoon!

All of your adventures look like so much fun! They make me wish that I could drive.

Well I'm glad you can enjoy seeing the adventures we get up to at least!!

Though I'll point out, to positively challenge your position ;), that all of the photos on this June adventure happened in a vehicle with a standard transmission that I don't know how to drive! Karsten did all the driving!

So we can reevaluate your situation and say that you could use adventure friends who drive LOL
