Careful bud. As you go to leave from the look out, instead of moving down the pavement to the left, look right, There is a gravel road there. It's not too bad. A little wash board but otherwise in pretty good shape. I kept it pretty much under 30kmh for the most part, and picked my line.

sounds like an awesome road trip. queen Charlotte should be a great destination! doesn't sound like your coming to the south coast other wise we could of planned a ride if you had the time.

Haven't touched the iron since my scarlet days. Dry cleaning nearby STC is $1.75 a shirt. Nothing more need be said.
