Odds 'n Ends
Enjoying scenic drives
I’m back. In case some of
you forgot. I spent a two-
week vacation in the West. A
friend and I flew to Calgary,
then rented a car to drive
around Banff National Park.
British Columbia and Van
couver Island.
Some people study maps
and pick out the best'routes.
They decide how many
miles they’ll drive each day,
where they’ll stay each
night, what attractions
they’ll see and how much
time they’ll spend in each
area. They plan ahead to
make the most of every
minute of their trip.
That’s not the way Joan
and I. did it, but I’ll bet we
saw as much or more than
most tourists. We took one
day at a time, starting each
morning without a timetable
to worry about. When we
saw points of interest, we
stayed as long as we wanted.
If we found a town or city we
liked, we stopped for' the
night and spent the late
afternoon or early evening
shopping or just walking
around.
We were fortunate to be
travelling at a time (early
June), when tourist attrac
tions and motels weren’t
busy. Until June 15, the
motels still charged off
season rates. A waitress
pointed out another advan
tage of beating the summer
rush: “The people who work
with tourists are still
friendly.” she said with a
grin.
Joan and I selected a
general route to follow each
day, but we didn’t hesitate
to deviate from the main
highway. As a result, we
took some scenic drives that
few tourists see.
Of course, in the moun-
tains, there are only two
wavs to go — ahead or
straight down. We chose the
conventional forward plan
and discovered a new view
at every twist and turn of
the Trans Canada Highway.
My fears about becoming
lost in Vancouver were un
warranted for we found our
way to Stanley Park without
a hitch We didn’t press our
luck, though: we were con
tent to stroll around the park
for the afternoon and then
cross Lion’s Gate Bridge to
Horseshoe Bay where we
spent the night?
From Vancouver, we
decided not to take a direct
ferry across to the Island.
Instead we drove north
along the B.C. coast — a
route which included two
short ferry trips before we
reached Powell River and
the large ferry that took us
through the Strait of
Georgia.
On the first small ferry,
we enjoyed a hot hearty
breakfast. We presumed the
food on the larger ferry
would be just as good or
even better, and we waited
to eat lunch on our way over
to the Island even though it
meant eating late. But to the
dismay of our growling
stomachs, we found only
food dispensers onboard and
had to settle for soup and
sandwiches.
On Vancouver Island, we
followed a scenic marine
drive from Sydney to Vic
toria. Whoever planted the
signs must have expected all
tourists to travel the other
way for we missed most of
his directions. Nevertheless
we found our way to Vic
toria, and in the process,
drove around some unknown
suburbs as well.
On our last Sunday on Van
couver Island, we' set out
from Brentwood Bay headed
for Swartz Bay, which was
located on the tip of a penin
sula just a few kilometres
north of Brentwood. We
never found Swartz Bay and
ended up back in Sydney in
stead. But we did discover a
that welcomed tourists and
a beach where we collected
shells and watched
seaplanes land and take off.
Another scenic drive, that
I remember well, was one
that I suggested between
Nanaimo and Victoria. A
winding road took us
through a little place called
Cowachin Bay. (That’s
pronounced Cow-itchin.)
The road became narrower
and narrower: the yellow
line disappeared in places:
the houses grew fewer and
fewer. We crossed two or
three rickety-looking
bridges and skirted the back
of a lumber vard before
emerging on the outskirts of
the city of Duncan, where
we rejoined the Trans
Canada.
Some of you cynics will
say we were lost on many of
our scenic drives, but I dis
agree. We always knew ap
proximately where we were
and we always found our
way back to the main
highway, although
sometimes we were headed
in the wrong direction. It
created a minor problem
that a u-turn, a detour into
someone's driveway or
another scenic drive around
the block eventually
remedied.
