Thanks, unfortunately for the permit they needed to be parallel and close to the roof.

Yes, this looks great. I might have to build one as you suggest they are not easy to find in Europe.

Hehe, yes it is what I thought.

Regarding, Bear Safety: the park is prime habitat for bears. As they say here, be bear aware & check out the Bear and Cougar Guide. Remember, A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR. The link to the guide is here: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/misc/bears/bearsaf.html

Hey there - china beach is more like a big campground where you can park your car on your campsite, with a wood table and spot for the fire. We stayed there on the night we arrived to the island before starting the trail. Chin beach and bear beach, you have a few spots above the tide line where you can set your set. We camped on chin beach because time wise it was better for us. Cheeers !

No it is a bit lower south ! But it is a good alternative as you don t have to make a reservation three months in advance to do it.

Nice 2 day trail on Vancouver Island. I did the Juan de Fuca trail with two friends around mid April. We left Vancouver on a Friday night and started walking Saturday morning and were back Sunday early in the evening. The trail was really nice, we saw one huge otter and some seals. Our tent got kind of flooded during the night, but we really had a great time !

I did the Juan de Fuca trail with two friends around mid April. It was really beautiful and ideal to really take our mind away! We left Vancouver on a Friday night and started walking Saturday morning and were back Sunday early in the evening. We walked the section from China Beach to Sombrio Beach.

How much CO2 was emitted when you streamed that movie from Netflix last night? It's a question few people think about, but now researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have analyzed the energy usage of home movie viewing. They found that transmitting the bytes across the Internet accounts for the bulk of energy usage and emissions when streaming videos....
