In the spring and summer of 2016 we explored Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, which are the former Queen Charlotte Islands..

Statistics
3 1/2 months or 106 days since we left home (April 15 – July 28). We spent another month and a half staying in the RV at our cottage but that doesn’t really count.
Together with other years that makes 936 days we have stayed in the RV.
9000 pictures saved (who know how many taken, at least double). It seems I posted over 3400 to the blog.
Distances
- 240 km hiking
- 10000 km on the RV
- 9000 km on the CRV just in day trips.
Money
I didn’t keep track of the money. We stayed in full hookup campgrounds the entire time which are more expensive. We usually paid in the range of $40 a night.
The trip up to Haida Gwaii was very expensive (but worth it).
- $1000 for the ferry there and back
- $500 for the car rental
- $400 for overnight accommodations
- $3200 for the guided trip into the national park
