  • On our way back south, we meander off the beaten track, and head into the tiny lil town of Cumberland BC. An historic little town , an hour north on Hwy 19 of Nanaimo. This once thriving little coal mining town was quite the boom, back in the day. Today, it’s a thriving kill Mecca of outdoor activity, custom shops, and a great home town feel. Pop in, you won’t regret it. Trust me

    That's a cute little town. I love that they've brought the buildings back, instead of just letting the town go back to dust. A town isn't a town without a brewery or corner bar and grill. And you seem to find all of them. 😃😆 Snout Smoochies for The Dude. 💕💗💘❌⭕❌⭕

    What type of ethnic food is chickpeas and black beans? Is that Indian, Jamaican or something else ? Was it a spicy dinner?
    Nice tour, I'm not a drinker though I've gone to visit a few craft breweries with my hubby for him to try out their holy water.
    I like cooking with with Guinness in fish batter, Irish breads and cake. ❤ 😊.

    Hi Brent, I saw your bus in town the other day. I wish I had been able to say hi! I saw my van parked by the Weird Church, the one with the red roof. That was kinda of cool. I'm going to go full time starting in April, nervous and excited at the same time. I like what you've done with your bus. I was thinking of getting one but I have next to no building skills. I'll make sure to say hi next time I see you, Jerry, a new subscriber. :)
