Day 20 – June 25 – We were met this morningby Bill Kendall who took us over to see his garage. In addition to his incredible collection of antique cars, Bill has a warehouse full of antique appliences, including washing machines and vacuum cleaners, bicycles, and household items. It was hard to tear ourselves away but we finally left Victoria, headed north up Vancouver Island. The drive up the island was a perfect Model T drive. The road was good, hilly but not too hilly; enough curves to make it interesting but not so many that it was dangerous. The traffic was pretty light and the scenery was spectactular. Ranging from moutain views to ocean views with a sprinkling of farms and pretty little towns, the drive to Campbell River made for a wonderful day. We were met at our motel by a man from the local vintage auto club. Blaze Taylor led us to the home of Del and Lorraine Kyle where a group of 60 or more treated us to a salmon barbeque and potluck supper. We had moose sausage and local salmon and had the chance to admire their beautiful vintage cars. What a fun night! This is the kind of good time we had hoped for on this trip and we were so flattered that they would take the time to do this for us.
