Huh… ICBC (the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia - BC's public auto-insurance corp) sent out an email explaining the rules and best practices for using a roundabout.
We're getting a new roundabout on an important intersection of Highway 4 in #PortAlberni. They're building it now at Hwy4 […]
A picture looking out from underneath some trees with dark branches in the trunk and picnic table on a beach in the four ground, looking up towards a glass like lake with perfect reflections of the ridge and sky with fog in between
A picture featuring a mirror image with the Lassie water, reflecting the blue sky and green and brown Mountain Ridge and slightly darker shades than the real thing with a band of white wispy fog over top of the water in the middle
A picture looking out to the lake is another perfect reflection of the blue sky featuring a few wispy clouds over top the mountain range, which is partially in Sun and Schade. There is a few layers of fog in between the mountain ends Lake.
A rare glass calm day on Cameron Lake. The warm 10°C air turning to fog over the cool water.

Disgusting! That bridge is an icon on #bchwy4. If you're triggered by Every Child Matters messages, harden the fuck up.
A snowy highway
Snowing on Christmas Day on Vancouver Island doesn’t happen very often. 😃
❄️
Current picture in Coombs.

A view from the back seat out the middle of the windshield. The snow is flying outside.
Be careful out there friends! 🚙 ❄️

A darkening sky overlooking a large lake with mountains and hills. The horizon to the west has a little yellow and orange left.
Similar picture but pulled back a little and 16:9 to reveal the guardrail over the cliff. Someone is at the rail looking out to the water. The lights of a car are near the shore on the left in the distance below a tall ridge. There is a single star (planet) in the sky to the left.
From last night. Looking over Kennedy Lake toward the Pacific on our way home.

I am really REALLY fed up with people who don’t respect campfire bans!!! We were doing well this summer, no wildfires nearby. Then some idiot was probably having a smoke break. Or decided to go dirt biking in the drush brush. (hot exhaust) or, most likely, had a cigarette or started a campfire […]
A number of small apples lie at the foot of a small apple tree in a large wood planter box. There are two small hydrangeas on either side of the box. A cement path and front grass yard are in the background.
Another apple tree, the blushing delight, with slightly more apples thinned from the tree lying at the base amongst some other small plants and a yellow toy dump truck with its back in dumping position.
A closeup of some curled apple leaves with ants crawling around them.
A wide view of the driveway shows a section close to the camera with fresh dirt spread. The large oscillating sprinkler is spraying water up in the air and it is making it “rain” which is gleaming in the low sunlight. There is a car parked on the side of the road at the end of the driveway. A small pink flower bush is in a box at the bottom left.
Working from home today due to scheduled highway closure which means I could do yardwork early when i would normally be commuting! Woot!
Thinned the apple trees! Slightly more apples on the Blushing Delight than the Northern Spy.
Both trees look […]

Today in #Tseshaht :TseshahtFN: #Hupacasath :hupacasath:
Saw čims (Black Bear) today! He was pretty scared of the busy road. Smart bear! Didn't get a good photo, and only mediocre video, but here you go :) 🐻
(this was near the Visitors Centre near the #BCHwy4 junction in #PortAlberni)
REALLY GOOD day helping out the #ndp today. Big sign wave on #bchwy4 in #portalberni. Gord Johns was there and then jetted off to other spots in the riding. 🏃
I helped out with some data entry, then knocked on doors in my neighbourhood.
Talked to some voters […]

A picture of the front of the windshield looking at the dash of the car it is a digital display with various numbers for distance traveled, and the odometer which is at zero. The battery level is on the right and is just under half full out the windshield is ablack truck on the highway, which is surrounded by trees and mountain and Distance.
A picture from a few days ago shows the same dashboard with the odometer at 199991
Sitting here in a lineup on #bchwy4 for some road work.
Our 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric just passed 200,000km this week! I got a snap of the odometer at palindrome 199991 which was satisfying. But a sudden snow storm/hail storm prevented me from […]

A picture of an old wooden fence shows a large dinosaur structure made from reclaimed steel. There’s a Canada flag attached to the fence underneath where the large dinosaur is standing above the fence. In the centre is a newly erected sign that says not for sale you stupid orange turd. There are Canada in Mexico flags on the left side of the sign and Greenland and Panama flags on the right side of the sign. Mounted in the corner of the fence on a board is a small Golden painted toilet with head in the shape of Donald Trump with a large Pinocchio style nose.
Zoomed in and cropped version of the picture better shows the detail of the Trump toilet lol the nose is very long lol his face is kind of red. He appears to be wearing some sort of American flag outfit. He is sitting in the toilet and has one arm out of the toilet and his head is sort of buried into the seat, which is obviously up.
I have been wanting to take a picture of this display ever since the owner of the junkyard in Errington, BC on #bcHwy4 erected it last week.
The time and care he put into this is just 🧑🍳 💋
The flags. The sign. The toilet. Amazing.
😂 😂

A snow covered picnic table looks out to a lake down a snowy shoreline. There is a tree without any leaves leaning over. There are fur trees on the right and left. There's a large hill rising in the distance on the other side of the lake and it's covered in snow.The air is foggy with snowflakes.
Stairs go up a hill amongst trees. They are snow-covered wide and deep.
Looking up into the branches of a fur tree covered in snow.
Another favourite #bchwy4 pitstop on the way home is Beaufort Provincial Park on Cameron Lake.

A picture looking out onto a field of a farm. It is covered in snow. There are a few lines of bushes and some trees in the background. The farmhouse is in the distance.
Closer to the wire fence line is a small pond surrounded by deciduous trees that have lost their leaves
Eight bales of hay have been arranged into two snowman in the middle and two bales on each side. In Christmas colors.
I like taking Hilliers Rd just after the #bchwy19 and #bchwy4 interchange. This used to be the old "shortcut" to go to Qualicum before the Inland Island Highway happened. Love this farm. Picturesque all seasons of the year.

A sea lion looking somewhat lost sitting in the middle of a highway with a bright yellow double yellow line.
We had a real fish outta water situation today on #bchwy4 between #PortAlberni and #Tofino. A sea lion found its way up Kennedy Inlet, which connects pretty directly to the large Kennedy Lake. Not sure why she decided to come up on land, let alone […]
