Wild Pacific Trail and Sprout Lake Provincial Park

We left the really beautiful Bella Pacifica Campground and moved on. First we drove to a lighthouse at the lower end of Vancouver Island, it is called the Amphitrite Point Lighthouse. We had issues with the car on our way at least three times again. We lose power, the yellow wrench icon comes up then we stop. After a restart it runs fine until now. We stopped at a repair shop but they were not able to read the error codes as they were too busy. We plan to continue to Victoria, the capital of Vancouver Island and try to service the car there. As a temp action we bought an STP Cleaning additive and put it into the tank so I hope it can help cleaning the throttle body control. Will see.

The trail leading to the lighthouse was beautiful. There is a rainforest, some rocks and the Pacific Ocean so it is for sure a very powerful mix of nature and landscape.

Then we almost had our first ticket from a police officer. We stopped in Ucluelet in front of a laundry to have lunch and do the laundry. Right after we finished our lunch (but before our coffee...) a police officer told us it is an improper parking as in this town there is one dedicated RV parking. So we either move or she will give us a ticket or will tow us! Well, I told her we pack up and leave. I started to put the dishes and the coffee into a safe place and closed the slideout, when the police officer came back and urged me a bit. I told her I am working on it and we leave i. 2 minutes. She said she waits for that and watched us leaving in deed.

Then we drove on to Sprout Lake Provincial Park and had the yellow lights twice, but on the last 25 kms the car was running very smooth. i hope the cleaning agent started to do its job. The lake we stopped for the night is also very nice and there are some ancient petroglyphs. The campsite is in winter mode meaning there is no staff on site, you have to fill in a form, put cash into an envelope and drop it into a box. The nightly rate is also much better, it is now 13 CAD while it was 35-50 CAD in other parks in the summer.
