We left Gold River, and after driving about 4 hours we reached a place to eat was a lake called Lake Sproat. Very quiet place and how good we had showers that were like the glory above all because it was FREE !!!!!!! Something I forgot to tell you is that here on the island we found in national parks charge you for parking, something that really seems to me too, not only because we are very stingy and do not want to pay even half cent, but because everything here in the island seems to be about money, because the campsites cost up to twice more than in the continent and it is difficult to find things to do that are free. So as we thought being a little swimming and cooking decided with tears in their pockets to pay $ 2 to park, but our honesty ends up paying far because when I put the coin in the machine to give me the ticket that was stuck and not gave me the receipt or silver, but we could see the coin in the slot locked so with Dan grabbed a knife and started trying to clear a jam, when surprise !!!!! ohhh Coins and more coins came out of the slot back, ended up with $ 12 but the machine kept locked so that not only pay but we made a profit each.
After a dip in the lake, hot shower and a good dinner we decided that we would be working nearby to spend the night and then go on until the next morning Tofino, but before we left we took more than $ 9 machine discovered that the cause of the problem was that someone had put a 10 cent coin was trance All. So we ended up making a profit because we fixed the machine.
And as was the night we went to "camp" out there in the corner near a road from the route. In which there was already another truck and a little further away was a tent. That to see that are not the only ones who are looking to live a little cheaper ....
to get up, go back to the lake, another time swimming, breakfast, shower and go to Tofino it in an hour because that's what we pay and now the machine was working jijijiji.
After another hour drive by another route full of curves and the mountains come to Tofino, went straight to the supermarket to buy food because it sounded hungry guts. After eating something to our required destination, the information center and thence to a place called Radar Hill, which is famous for during the Cold War had radars for coastal protection and to spy ships and Russian submarines.

Although to us that we are not very interested, especially when Jamie found a sort of road that seemed to go down to the coast but not was very well marked and appear on any map we had, just decided to follow him to see what happened.
the tourists thought they were going to be like 14 km to the costs because when the trees let us see some distant shore was okay but I did I was not so long, the issue is that for a change we left unprepared, with little water, flip flops / Hawaiian and no idea how soon return, and the road was full of rocks, roots and obstacles that we had to go very slow.
After 30 min walk and still not knowing how much was missing or where we were convinced Dan says, if we do not reach half hour anywhere I turn and I said this as soon as we passed two girls who came back and told us we were missing 10 to 15 min to reach the coast. So with renewed vigor and continued our walk really worthwhile because we arrived at a deserted beach with an ocean view very nice, hard little pity because as soon as we got up a very thick fog hid the sun, but just take the time to cross it.
Do not splash!!
I think something is biting my finger !!!!!!
the photos were more the things we did but it was there that I realized that now my travels will take me across the continent to the Atlantic Ocean himself, so in a fit of madness with Dan we got running water, though I was the one who really dived into the water, because then we spotted a seal that was looking at us very strangely and ran to look for the cameras, but it was in vain because when we came back we could not find it.

And after a while walking along the beach, we decided to go back and start looking for a place to spend the night, although we had an advantage because we were told that the road leading to the landfill were places where you could camp, and thank goodness we decided to leave early middle to late because we had to intern enough in the way of finding one of those places available and that once again we were not the only ones who wanted to free up our camp and after and ignite a fire as a 2 km of the coast is allowed on fire, we ate a dessert pizzas and biscuits cooked on the grill, I burned the first but for the second round and he had grabbed his hand.
And there our rooms But before we begin the great journey, we ended up Ucluelet to Tofino is about where we did another hike on the side of the Pacific and where there was a lighthouse, but as I turned half boring walk me had a fit of madness and my hiking boots decided to run the rest of the walk and as the road was finished turning round and a half until you reach to small children near the end of the road, complete liquidation of the calf because the boots are super heavy that the road also had several repechitos but happy to have finished run almost nonstop for about 4 km and that time does not work out.

From there we headed to Sooke, but decided to stop again at the Sproat Lake and swim take a shower again and again, we must seize every opportunity to shower ....
ballast The road ended up being better than we expected and although the drought is the land that was suspended in the air for a long time after the passing cars, so you can imagine that poor truck was completely covered with earth, but was worth it because we saved about 200 km driving.
But as I was getting the night we decided to find a place to put up camp and cooking, and now you can imagine that means getting into a dirt road and find out where to park the truck and set up the tent, so after 20 minutes we reached a pretty nice place for which we had to go through a rotting wooden bridge but stand there while our way and spent the night, again all three on the truck because the tent did not have time to dry.
That night they can not eat lactose was paying the consequences of pizzas the night before so I went to bed early without dinner while Jamie and I punish with a nice dinner and then we were talking about religion for a while because it belongs to Jamie unorthodox church belonging to the Catholic church but that is somewhat different, it was very interesting conversation because although both believe the same principles Jamie is a bit more closed in their convictions and had difficulty accepting certain postures that I did, so after a while I decided to change the subject because I thought that if there was going to get ugly thing.
After the interesting talk, to take a nap, only to the middle of the night Jamie told me I woke up and I ran because I had left the place, in my defense I will argue that the van was stationed with some fall so it was not entirely my fault jijijiji.
The next morning, after breakfast down our camp and we left for Sooke.
Thanks for reading
