This could be my last time posting from the Mount Currie Coffee Shop in Pemberton. I would have spent a lot less money buying a month’s worth of wireless service from the local ISP, but computing from the car is a pain. At least the coffee shop is warm and comfortable. I’m addicted to their coffee and cranberry scones. 🙂

Last night, I found surprisingly decent Mexican food! I’m still not pleased with the state of Mexican food in Canada, but this was some of the best I’ve had north of the 49th. In Pemberton, BC, where there are practically no other restaurants, of all places! The place was quiet last night and the server let me indulge my desire to practise my Spanish. I must have done okay because at first she would reply to me in English but by the end of the evening we were conversing entirely in Spanish. It was a little surreal, especially when I discovered that I can say ‘It is getting dark’. I had no idea that I had the vocabulary for that!

The brake repairs were completed yesterday and Miranda was taken for a short road test. Today, she will undergo an oil change, a few more mechanical checks, and a longer road test. I was told to expect them to be done by about 10. The mechanic says that by the time I pull out, I can have the same confidence in Miranda’s truck components as I did when I left Ottawa. I sure hope I will. 🙂 So, will be arriving in Campbell River with the knowledge that all I’ll need to do in the spring is put air in her tires… and that her tires should be good for another BC/Yukon round trip before I need to get them reinspected. Some good news at least!

It’s super foggy out and getting worse, so I now doubt that I will be doing any mileage today. Croft’s home from his own adventure so I expect to be parked in his driveway by tomorrow night either way.

The adventure continues…
