09/08 Had a little trouble getting to sleep the night before last so I decided to stay in Namaimo an extra day. The rest did me some good because I whizzed right by the CG I was going to stay at and rode to within 3 miles of the ferry I need to catch tomorrow. This is the one that takes me over by Olympic National Park in Washington state.
Almost all day was spent riding on the Trans-Canada highway. I’m amazed I didn’t get a flat considering all the glass on the shoulder. When I arrived in Mill Bay I waited about 45 minutes for the ferry and then enjoyed a smooth ride over to Brentwood Bay. While I was waiting I did get to see a couple seals swimming right off shore. That was kind of cool.
Of course there was a big hill waiting for me when I got off the ferry. I was hoping there would be a CG on the way into Victoria but no such luck. That hill was one of many today. I wasn’t planning on being in the city for the night so I didn’t spend any time trying to find a CG. So I’m staying at the cheapest place in town, The Friendly Inn. Got the room for $50.
I hate to skip right through the capital city of BC, where I’ve spent a lot of time in the last couple months, but I’m not sure there’s anything I really want to see. I’ll run up to the front desk and grab some brochures just in case.
Hopefully no one noticed but I was messing with my site off and on yesterday. I was trying add back the stats that had been there up until the last time I updated the WordPress theme I’m using. The upgrade overwrote all the code I’d written to display custom fields (distance, weather, mood, etc.). Oops. Well I took care of that problem and also wrote some easy code to show stats in imperial and metric. Now if I actually knew some HTML I could display it in a better way. It looks horrible now.

Hi Scott,
Way to keep going. Is there an easy way to get back to the beginning of your trip. I thought there was a way to look back, but I can’t find it. Must be getting old. Be safe.

I noticed. Thank GOD you updated the WordPress. Whatever you need to know about HTML let me know I wrote the book. Hope your coming back to FL soon for a very short stay. Zach would love to share his “Cars” bed with you. Glad to see your mood has changed you were really harshing my mellow.
Actually I’m writing this to Aunt Leigh…..Sissy, I’m so impressed. I had no idea you knew about using WordPress and HTML’s. I’m still in total shock about this.
