Hi Ted, it is an easy decision, take the Coho coming up to Vancouver and enjoy the laid back highway to Port Angeles, the laid back ferry trip and the laid back clearing customs in Victoria. When you leave Vancouver take the B.C. Ferries and enjoy the hubbub of crowed loading docks and cafeteria lineups. When you head south to go home you can cross at Blaine and enjoy the 6 lanes of customs booths, the creeping traffic and really enjoy the wish you were back on the Coho clearing customs in...

RV Trip Wizard is recommending I take the ferry from Vancouver to the island and not Port Angeles. Any thoughts on the two options? Thanks, Ted

As you are coming to the rally first, come up on the Coho, go to the rally, see Vancouver Island, take B.C. ferries to the mainland and then go to Banff etc. you turn have numerous options for crossing the border when you go south. Osoyoos woukd be my choice as it gives you a tour of the Okanagan Valley. You have a great trip ahead of you. I hope you have made reservations in advance for campsites. Sent from my iPad

I realized after I responded to your post that the Coho is the ferry line and not the highway🙃. On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 7:10 AM Lance Owners of America < admin@lanceowners.org> wrote:

Thanks for that Ian. When we leave the rally we are heading to Banff. Are you advising that we go back through Port Angeles? It seems that when we leave Vancouver Island and head to Banff we need to bite the bullet and take the ferry from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay or Point Roberts?

Hi Rodey29, Coho means the Blackball ferry MV Coho from Port Angeles.

When you refer to the "Coho", is that the same thing as Hwy-101? Sorry for all the questions....

Our plans are to ferry from Vancouver to the island (Horseshoe bay to Nanaimo), entering Canada a day ahead so customs shouldn't be an issue the day of. Then to make the ferry cost worth it we depart 30+ days later from Victoria to Port Angles, staying the last few days in Victoria and taking the early ferry. Research has shown us there is ample must see locations (reservations are made) from north to south and east to west on the island. Looking forward to the trip!

Enjoy your travels, see you in August.

booked site 68 today - a few spots left

Aww...I have RV reservations in Saanichton and Nanaimo in July and didn't know about this rally; though still unsure if we will be making the July trip. Looks like this rally is/will be very popular so will plan for another trip up to Vancouver Island next August.

This is the first one....hopefully we will have more!!

I’ll second that.😊😊😊🇨🇦🇺🇸

Generally any fresh fruit I not allowed across. Limitations on tobacco and alcohol as well. Check the border crossing web page for specifics. Plenty of stores here! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone Get Outlook for Android< https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg >

Starting the last preparations for our journey to the rally. Any recommendations on do's and don't bring with you (food, beverages, gear....quantities.). Is there a good border crossing web site (US to Canada) to be sure we don't have to donate to the local land fill. Looking forward to our first rally!

Looking forward to coming! Kelly, thanks for organizing!

So it is August already! We are getting closer to the first Vancouver Island Rally...AAAUUUGHH! Some items for your consideration: 1) We will do a meet and greet with adult beverages of your choosing, snackies and conversation on Wed the 23rd at my campsite (site #60). I will have two pop up tents in case of rain or too much sun, and some tables but please bring your chairs and anything you would like to share. I will have a few bottles of BC wines, and ciders for your tasting pleasure! Beer...

We’re on the road soon to cross over to the island! Looking forward to the “Island Life” and meeting fellow Lancers.

Hi Lisa. Glad you arrived without incident. News story today forecasts Hwy 4 being fully open this Friday. Good to see Lou and Lily enjoying the tall timbers. Enjoy the west coast and safe travels. Rick and Anita

Hwy 4 travel was unevenful Sunday. Now hoping it is fully opened on Friday for return to Victoria and ferry. The campground at the golf course is actually great! No complaints. Rainforest visit today. Ucluelet and Wild Pacific Trail tomorrow.

I arrived at the Duke Point terminal at 8:45 only to be told they were ticketing for the 3:15 sailing (with possible wait for the 5:45). But fortunately they were wrong in my favor. I nearly made the 10:15 and did make the 12:45 sailing. I am now home safe and sound. It was awesome meeting everyone and I want to join the chorus thanking Kelly for a wonderful rally. Until next year!

Well it took a day to get settled but here are the pics of the group Sunday as we all prepared to depart. Safe travels!

Cindy and I enjoyed meeting the fellow Lance owners at the rally. This was our first rally and it was great to hear about the experiences of the other LOAers. I enjoyed talking all things Lance trailer technical with Rick and Anita. I have to say that the ferry systems to and from the island were fantastic. Thanks to Kelly for hosting (and to whomever else helped with that). Safe travels!

It sounds like you all had a good time. Congratulations, Kelly! We will make it up your way one of these years.

Thanks to all who attended and all who sent good wishes for the rally! I think it was a success! We will be doing it again next year but a week earlier so we can catch the end of Parksville Summer Fest and the sandcastle competition among other things. I will post pics I have once I figure out how! :-)

Here they are!

Looks like a fantastic time! Kelly, you have started a GREAT tradition!
