IF the borders open up by late Fall......
And IF my plans all fall into place......

I may end up needing a place to park my Van for a week or two.
My Brother has a home on Protection Island which needs a LOT of work.

He just parks on the streets and grabs the ferry. (You ever see a weekender by the ferry with Oregon plates? That's him)

I'll have a lot of tools and would like a "safer" place to roost.

Anyone in town have a secure off road spot?

Money I haven't, but I can offer many thanks and maybe a home repair or two?

I'll have all my shots by then too! (Sounds like a dog..... yes, he's had all his shots and has been wormed) Laughing
I don't bite either.......

Dave

Hi Dave,
I can't offer you a spot in Nanaimo, but if you drive through Victoria and need a pit stop here, let me know! I'll be happy to chat and/or help out!
Cheers,
JB

Agreed! I'm in Vic too -- definitely come down and we can have a meet up! There are a bunch of Vancouver Island Sambanistas here, we can arrange a Samaba meetup!

If you find yourself an hour north in Courtenay I have a driveway, a bathroom and I can make you a nice cappuccino!

Likewise in Seattle. Heck, you could spend 100 nights here and never stay at the same Vanagon owner's house more than once.

Tools, driveway, lemonade, ice tea, Arnold Palmers, ferries nearby, etc.

I get a few jacked-up lemonades, ice teas, or Arnold Palmers, and I start seeing fairies, too. Do NOT let me near tools.

If you accidentally take the Nanaimo bypass and end up at the end of the highway in Campbell River, my van always enjoys the company of another Westy in the driveway.
