Barnston Island adventure
Today we ventured for the first time on a long ride with Sara on the tow bike.
Crossing the Golden Ears bridge was no biggie, but after it the bike path somehow disappeared. Half an hour later and three detours later we were on our way, Navigon and J’s amazing technology skills saved us. The tiny ferry ( barge pushed by a little tug boat) runs all the time and it took about two minutes to cross Fraser River. At the dock Sara had a first melt down, because she didn’t put her popcorn in J’s backpack. On the other side we entered another world. Beautiful views, eagles, and a stinky “honey vac” )
We discovered that there is Avalon farm producing organic milk we used to buy. I might consider making the extra trip to start buying it again.
Picnic at Robert’s Point, meeting bearded dragon girl while waiting for the ferry, and short ferry ride back to mainland almost ended our adventure. Sara was quite tired, but she bravely rode her big bike. Back on the Golden Ears Bridge I noticed Sara leaning heavily on her bike, J stopped and we could see she was half asleep holding onto the handlebars :)))) Four hours were obviously enough.
