Ep. 25: Driving Our Condos to Vancouver Island North and Providing Security During Our Most Vulnerable Times

Garrick & Melody

Load up the rigs and join us for a week of rain-soaked trails, hidden coves, and endless lake views on Vancouver Island North. Starting with a Black Ball Ferry ride from Port Angeles to Victoria, we snake our way up the island—camping at Georgie Lake, chasing fossils near Holberg, and paddling mirror-calm waters from Secret Bay to beautiful lakes.

Along the way we meet Mark at the Holberg General Store, swap gear tips on Michelle’s modded 4Runner, and laugh through radio jokes while dodging tide lines and testing our rain gear in classic coastal weather. Whether you’re planning your own North Island overland loop or just want an armchair adventure, this episode is packed with practical stops, camp-cooking favorites, and plenty of trail camaraderie.
