I’m back tonight after a quick two day drive up to Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Just for giggles I did the trip in the Jeep with no top. The weather was perfect. I opted to drive the old Island Highway so I could drive nice and slow and enjoy the ocean views and take a journey down memory lane as I drove this road many times when we lived on Vancouver Island more than twenty years ago. This route sure beats the fast way up the inland freeway! Taking the old route put me through all of the tourist spots. One such place, Parksville, is the location of Riptide Lagoon Adventure Park which we had a hand in designing and building quite a number of years ago. The two golf courses and all it’s features look pretty good!
