I had my 30lb tank filled this morning and the cost almost a full dollar per pound. It wasn’t quite as bad as in Dawson, where I paid $40 to fill the tank, but it was still a full ten cents more than in Whitehorse! I guess living on an island is more expensive than living near the end of the world?

There appears to be only one place within a reasonable distance of Campbell River city limits to get propane; the Ocean Grove Esso station at the corner of South Island Highway and Colorado. It’s easy to get to even if it is a 20km round trip drive, so I doubt I’ll be taking Miranda out for an onboard tank fill. The 30lber will last a long time so long as I’m not heating with it, so it’s not worth the hassle of trying to get myself out and back into this spot.
