Sleeping at five stars rest area/ Driving through wildfire/ Road trip update/ Solo female traveler

All right guys, sometime there's videos that I just pick up my camera on the fly and this is one of them. So right now I'm just pulling off the highway and I'm going if I remember a couple must be a week now. I was in a place and a forest fire started right beside pretty much my van and I was right beside the highway. So this fire which I thought by now would be totally all right, you know, gone or no. This is what I think it is. So we're very close. I don't know if you're going to be able to see but it's really smoky. So before you call me crazy and say like why are you going towards that fire. It's not because I try to get towards the fire. It is I'm trying to get out of the big like fire, wildfire area right now. So I'm going towards Vancouver. I'm gonna explain everything to you in a couple minutes but I just feel the need to drive to get out of that place right now because yeah I'm just I don't know like it seems very close from the highway and this is like a huge highway. I'm on the Kokada highway right now which is like yeah a big highway that rely like between Vancouver and like all the rest of British Columbia almost. So I'm sure they don't want that fire to cross the highway but so yeah we're just gonna go and I'm gonna talk to you after that. Very shocked that this fire is still going like I said super windy just right here too and yeah I'm super shocked that's still happening because it's been a good week now and very very close from the area where I was parked. So oh yeah right there it's really close This is so windy that I have like almost hard time to hold the van straight. It's very windy here. The fire is just right here. I mean I will show you more but just smoky I'm sure the last thing they want is the forest fire to cross that highway. Like I said it's a huge highway here. A lot of truck, a lot of like goods going back and forth from the north and the south yeah it's burning guys. So uh the place where I was parked a week ago when I saw that fire was right here around here and now it's a little bit more behind me the fire so definitely I move but it seems to have moved closer from the highway past that so we're not stuck if the fire cross the highway definitely gonna close the highway for that so yeah so I have a little bit more driving to do to go to a rest area where I'm gonna spend the night. It's a very kind of busy area so I think it's gonna be a good spot to spend the night and I'm gonna talk to you on what's going on where I'm going and all that jazz so I'm probably like at least a good 10 kilometers from that fire and look you can see the smoke it's pretty intense. So my plan was to sleep here tonight. It's a rest area I slept several times here. It's a nice area. Let's go in the back. So yeah I didn't expect that fire to still going on. It's insane. The wind and all that going the opposite direction from us right now so I'm gonna stay here. I'm a little bit tired of driving. I have something to eat and yeah hopefully if things stay like this I'm gonna sleep here tonight. So yeah it's a really nice place to sleep here. It's got wi-fi. I have a bathroom. I even have like a I don't know what I call like a vending or like truck stop. A little trucker with like you know pups and hot dogs and all that jazz. So yeah and it's pretty quiet. I mean this side here is for the trucker but I usually move a little bit further down or it's a little bit more calmer. So yeah as long as the fire doesn't seem to go toward here we're gonna sleep here tonight. It's gonna have a lot of people. So a lot of things to tell you guys. Oh my god didn't thought I would start with the fire though. So we are going toward Vancouver guys. What a change of plan but not so much of a change. So oh my god where to start. I got more package coming which is one of the reason why I'm going to Vancouver. Don't tell me Emmy you should have planned this a little bit better. Those two package that's coming nothing they could have planned but just amazing opportunity that I'm gonna talk. Not right now. One it's a fridge freezer. Super exciting about it. So yeah two big package coming in the mail and I had to go in Vancouver to pick them up and just with the forest fire and all that crazy stuff and the smoke I'm just not feeling to be in this area anymore and it's not very appealing and safe and you know like especially if you want to enjoy the backcountry like I like to do and so yeah we're going to Vancouver. We're not gonna stay in Vancouver believe me. We're not gonna stay in Vancouver. I'm just going to pick up some package see my friend Joseph and maybe Chrome if he's in Vancouver and the plan doesn't change so so much because I made a decision. It's almost well nothing is 100% with me but I think I'm gonna take a ferry which is from the Vancouver island to Prince Rupert. I'm gonna treat myself. It's not the cheapest things but I'm not someone who purchase like you know like fancy clothes and stuff and those kind of things. I'm not that type of person so I'm just gonna treat myself with amazing road trip and yeah so I think I'm gonna take the ferry. Still have a couple things to look at but that could be amazing trip to do. So we're still gonna go in Prince Rupert if I do that. It's just I was thinking maybe going back with that ferry to Vancouver. We're gonna take it and go to Prince Rupert and by the time that we're gonna go back toward the Vancouver for our winter area if you want the more mild area in British Columbia. By that time which should be like a September-October the forest fire should really reduce and things should be a little bit more pleasurable. Is it pleasurable? Pleasant? For traveling it should be just better in a sense. So yeah so that's coming and I picked up my package from my friend. What's those package was? One of them. I got some new merch guys. So this was one of the samples I wanted to test it for me and the stickers. Hold So this is the second logo. Super I really love this one. This is more like the logo of the you know the cat lady van logo but this yeah follow your dreams. So those two graphic some have a small logo in the front with the big logo in the back. All that jazz is now available for those of you who want. Thank you by the way. I never thought I would have a merch. Come on. Never thought. And one second and I pick up the stickers. Hold on focus. Stickers. So those two stickers with the same graphic are also available. I already put them on my van yesterday. I couldn't wait. So yeah so those are were the two packages that I was waiting for that I could not order. Obviously on Amazon and I could not like get to any other area than the like legit address if you want. So yeah we got them. Took way longer than I thought. The t-shirt were like a little sold out kind of like thing. So yeah took a little bit longer. But I got them. So yeah thank you so much for those of you who want to support me this way. I really appreciate. Oh my god forest fire and all that jazz make me hungry like I said. So I think I'm gonna cook something. Gonna make something. It's been probably a month that I didn't actually put my stove cook and cook something. It's just too hot. Just don't feel like it. So I've been eating a lot of salad. So I think that's what I'm gonna make. Yeah I feel like it's been a while that I didn't cook with you guys. It's really like I cook more often. But yeah it's been just just too hot to do anything here. So this little side that I'm going to show you. I don't think I'm not sure if I showed you before. I forget sometimes what I what I cook with you. But this side I just eat all the time. It's kind of like a guacamole. Guacamole. Salad type of. Oh yeah. So you want the perfect soft avocado for this. And sorry for the noise. Got some trucks. It's like a rest area slash truck stop if you want. The big trucks are allowed here. So you want to make like a guacamole. Some chili powder. A lot of this. Onion powder. Also a lot. You can put some nutrition yeast. I'm not gonna put some today. It's really good in nutrition yeast. And a good pinch of salt or two. So this is kind of like the sauce if you want. So no blender. Nothing of that needed. Which is why I like it. I don't want to clean the blender. So you're gonna need some cabbage. I have purple or red. Whatever the color is. And you can put like obviously whatever vegetable you like. I just like have carrots and cabbage tonight. So this is what we're gonna get. So there you go. Do you see it? Hold on. So this is my super quick salad. I eat that all the time. Don't need blender or anything. And you can put yeah like I say every vegetable you want. Oh and I like to put a little bit of curry powder. But try it without. And see if you feel you need it. And you can put some peanuts. I really like to put peanuts on it. But I didn't have any. So that's gonna be a super simple one. So I'm gonna eat that. And as like I mentioned it's really nice rest area here with like wi-fi. So I'm gonna do a little bit of work and meet you later on with this. After that I eat this. I'm gonna meet you. All right guys. I think I'm gonna let you with this. I'm just scrolling online doing my couple things. Just move a little bit on this side here. Which seems to have more people. Seems to sleep here. Like I said the other side is more like trucker. So it's a little bit more noisy. So this side is better. So yeah I'm gonna go to bed quite early. I think I'm gonna leave quite early tomorrow morning. So thank you for joining me. It's getting nice and cold here on top of the mountain. So yeah I will see you soon guys. Take care. Bye.
