4/ But you didnt come here for Bathroom pictures. So here's the beach. Which, thanks to the #CameronLakeFire closing #bchwy4 east of Port Alberni was shockingly empty for the end of June. The sun came out in the afternoon. A strong NW wind blew down the beach but that didnt stop us testing the 🥶 water. Also, I think these large granite stones were deposited here by unnatural, or rare, events. Like a landslide, earthquake or Tsunami.

Something excllent may be about to come from this #bchwy4 closure and #cameronlakefire at least for our little fam.
We may head West on Saturday to Pacific Rim National Park and Long Beach. The rumour is that it is incredibly quiet... including the campground! Even with single lane traffic opening Saturday morning that is not likely to change much! 😱 😬 😁 We'll see. 🤞This would be a perfect bookend to last year's #EVCrossCanada to PEI. Hoping.

Looks like they’re nearing completion on the measures to re-open #BCHwy4 to single lane traffic. This morning’s update includes this impressive picture of the two cranes holding the wire mesh that will keep rocks and other debris from falling onto the road. Obviously this is a temporary message just to allow traffic to at least move through in a controlled manner.

Will be making the trek over the detour tomorrow to pick up an important package. 6AM start! 300km in the EV. Probably a 6hr trip. It’s gonna be fun! Hopefully. 🚗 😆 #detour #bchwy4 #BCWildfire #CameronLakeFire #CameronBluffs #WestCoast #BCPoli

Fire and flood proves Government fails on island transport.

Tiny wooden shapes for earrings. 🐮 🥣
My wife designs or finds these shapes, her dad laser-cuts them in wood, and she hand paints them. Unfortunately, with the #CameronLakeFire, there are no post/courier services running. But if anything catches your fancy, let me know. https://saltywaters.co

The #bchwy4 highway is closed at Chatsworth rd just past Whiskey Creek store. The fellow at the blockade says “No idea how long” #cameronLakeFire #BCWildfire

@mlmartens it’s looking pretty bad on this side too. #CameronLakeFire

Large amount of smoke from the #CameronLakeFire now moving up the Cameron River Valley at the foot of Mt Arrowsmith and may track into the Alberni Valley. Likely that smoke will be affecting visibility on #bchwy4 No update yet on the bcwildfire website for today.
