Camper Van Camping
Camp Junkie provided the wheels , Adrienne provided the tunes , and I provided the navigation — which explains why one wrong turn led to another , which ended up leading to many fun , unplanned adventures .
Traveling in Betsy , our Camp Junkie camper van , was a wild ride — and honestly , a highlight in my life . There ’ s a certain romanticism to an old school refurbished Volkswagen Westfalia . Manual steering with automatic transmission . Retro interior with life luxuries like a stove and water . It ’ s the perfect camping setup .
Getting acquainted with Betsy as we drove up to our first location in the Garibaldi Highlands was exhilarating . Let me tell you , 10 point turns with manual steering will keep you on your toes . Though , once we arrived at our destination for the night , it was all worth it .
Overlooking the beautiful mountain scape , we popped up our tent roof , made a beautiful fire , cooked a pesto pasta dinner , and cracked open a Backcountry Brewing beer as the sun set .
With the crickets chirping , the bushes rustling with wildlife , and the fire burning a beautiful ember glow , it was an idyllic night spent in the Squamish wilderness .
TRAVEL OFTEN . LIVE WELL . 51
