Oh — hello. I didn’t see you there. I’m Ellen, and I’m back with another installment of trillium trails. We’ve been back from this trip for a mere month, so this is pretty much breaking news by my standards.
Our destination this time: Wenatchee, Washington! Didn’t see that one coming, did you? Why Wenatchee? Well, [...]
We have company! My brother-in-law and his family are here for a few days. Tonight they are meeting some Victoria friends for dinner, so I’ll sneak in a quick post. These photos are from the Moberly Homestead in Jasper National Park, which we visited one evening in the company of the very same brother-in-law. To [...]
Let’s start with the local colour; there’s plenty of time for the scenic postcards. These two photos bracket our recent trip to Jasper.
Day 1: Lac Le Jeune campground near Kamloops. Luau pinata gal: I have to admire your attitude.
Day 11: Cafe sign for the Charles Hotel in Boston Bar, BC, taken from moving vehicle.
After 10 days on the road in our Trillium trailer, we are back home safe and sound. Details to follow . . .
Fifty cents for this beauty! The Mighty Metchosin Garage Sale comes through again. Its an annual benefit for the community house in our little town, and involves fantastic bargains and shopping for all the stuff your neighbors are throwing away. Last year we went at the end (prices in the basement), and this year we [...]
Well, not quite. But I have been to some very nice places. This little cabin overlooking the Pacific, where Mount Tamalpais meets the sea, north of the beautiful magical city of San Francisco, and shared with great friends, is one of them.
Talk about dumb luck. A few weeks ago, I set off for a [...]
That’s what it says on the sign post at the turnoff to Hope, BC. We pass it each time we take one of our favorite journeys (Gary, Sam and I) from Victoria to Penticton via the Hope-Princeton highway. Yesterday we travelled this route on our way to spend Christmas at Gary’s parents’ house. New snow [...]
Just a couple of photos from the last couple of days in Courtenay. Having an interesting, fun time on the road, but I’m ready to be home. Three days left. . .
Travel day! This is at a breakfast stop at Merritt (someone else’s table). We left Revelstoke around 6 am with the sky dark and a slim crescent moon just above the mountains. This is about 4 or 5 hours in. I drove the truck today — a 16′ box loaded with our touring exhibit.
This [...]
You know, if I try to go into a long explanation every time I have a massive blog-posting lapse, all my posts will ever be about is why I haven’t posted. Is that interesting? I think not. So, from now on, like my friend Anne, who has a policy of mutual forgiveness for unanswered emails [...]
