So it's been a little while since we've been out on a camping trip and taking our van.
So we're heading out now finally to Porto Cove and to meet up with some friends.
Yeah actually if you've watched our channel for a while you'll sort of know Stephen and Darlene.
They have Transporter. It's a Zion SRT so very similar to ours. They've passed us on the road.
And we're also meeting up with Pete and Alex who you may remember from one of our videos
at Pacific Rim National Park where we covered their van building.
They are looking forward to getting together. Hopefully the weather will be nice there.
It's a bit foggy everywhere else but hopefully sunny. Probably close to freezing at night.
So we hope you enjoy this video.
Yeah many times. All right. Are the rules in? We do.
Very good. I think we know those people behind us too.
So just an appetizer plate we put together for our friends.
Everything's all frosty still so I'll wait for the sun to come around and melt some of the frost
in the logs. We're just enjoying the sun just coming up over the ridge and Stephen and Darlene
just left in their Roadtrek Zion SRT, the Transporter. And we had such a great time with
them. Pete and Alex are still here so we'll go for a walk with them a little bit later.
But yeah we had a great evening chatting around the fire and also this morning. Nice morning
coffees in front of the fire. It's great and the weather's just fantastic. We're so happy.
And Finch is sleeping in his usual driver's seat spot.
Very high tide this morning. Don't think this camera will pick it up. A couple seals were
poking up their heads out there. Temperature's right around freezing. Maybe slightly above.
I noticed just a minute ago a few snowflakes. Such a beautiful view here. We had a nice fire
about four o'clock until maybe six and Alex and Pete joined us for some hors d'oeuvres and
sampled some wine and we overlooked this view. It's just always amazing.
Finch seeing what's happening. Hey buddy. So we're just about to head out. We packed up. Weather has
changed probably for the worse and even saw a few snowflakes a few minutes ago.
Yeah so it's a good day to head out. We've had beautiful weather. So lucky. Usually when we
leave a campsite the weather actually gets good as we're driving away so this worked out really
well. Yeah and we had a nice time sitting by the fire with Alex and Pete last night. Had some wine,
had some appies. It was fantastic. Yeah it was a lot of fun. This whole trip we did far less
outdoor and not too much filming. We've been here so many times too. It's always so beautiful.
But we had a lot of fun just socializing with Stephen Darlene and Pete and Alex as a group
the first night and Stephen Darlene had headed home and Pete and Alex were over here
last night. It was just fun. Such a beautiful place and I don't think we've talked as much
about vans and camp spots you know for a long time so that was a lot of fun. Yeah and yeah
there's so much to talk about with van folks and Darlene and Steve they've really kitted up their
Roadtrek Zion SRT. They've done a lot of improvements and hope we have an opportunity
to maybe tour their van in the future. Yeah they've done some some great work. We'll get
a chance to show that to everyone at some point in the future hopefully. So we're going to head
home. Finch might jump up in front of the camera we'll see. He's kind of fussing around the front
here. And there's Finch. You might see his nose or his fur. There we go. We hope you enjoyed this
video and if you did please be sure to give us a thumbs up and subscribe. Yeah Finch really enjoyed
his trip up here because there's so many critters out there. We saw raccoons,
we saw lots of birds, ravens, eagles. We did hear eagles.
Excuse the tail. Fluffy tail. We hope you enjoyed the sight of Finch's belly.
Yeah it was a nice trip. We really enjoyed it. So we hope you enjoyed it and
please be sure to give us a thumbs up. Subscribe to our channel if you haven't done so already
and we'll see you next time and enjoy the holiday season. See you next time. Bye.
