After a few long days we are all feeling the need for a rest before we tackle the next pass. Silverton is a cute little town of 500 permanent residents but due to some fantastic tourism efforts manages to sustain a dozen hotel/motels twice as many restaurants and at least 20 stores. Seeing how well they have revitalized what was a defunct mining town gives me at least little hope for Lake Cowichan.
We spend the day kicking around drinking coffee on the rooftop patio at Coffee Bear, visiting the two breweries and getting some bike repairs done.
We visit the Avon hotel bar and get some local insite in black bear pass and learn that it was closed again today because someone flipped their Toyota off the edge, they say it should be open by tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed that is true.
On the bucket list to see
