Cooking in the Camper
Let’s talk food! Camping food, in particular. Let’s face it: when you think of food while camping, you automatically think of hotdogs, hamburgers, chips and marshmallows. Well, I’m here to tell you that there are some fantastic go-to dishes that are as easy as a hotdog, and taste better than a burger… and I wouldn’t […]
The Cariboo Gold Rush
Sometimes you have to just roll with the punches, go with the flow, and realize that everything happens for a reason! Today we had a later start than we had hoped for, so we ended up changing our plan slightly to accommodate the late departure. We set out to do the Barkerville/Likely historic Gold Rush Circle Route, […]
Barkerville and Hornets
Jax and I started to clip along some old logging roads that were on the way to our campsite, down the old mining road to the river. When we were coming up to where I was planning on parking, we were greeted by four dogs—the biggest being a Great Pyrenees crossed with maybe a small horse or perhaps […]
Ghost Lake Living
The Gold Trail is in tremendous condition right now, and can be travelled with ease. Be cautious, however, as it is an active haul route for log-hauling trucks. Two-way calling is advised. If you don’t have a two-way radio and see logging activity, try to follow a logging truck or vehicle. There is lighter traffic in the […]
Ghost Lake to Likely
It’s was Sunday morning. We were awake, and the sun was shining. It’s another blue blazer of a day! It didn’t take Jax long to dig out his fishing pole while I prepared breakfast and sipped my coffee. It was already hot as ever, so swimming in the river was inevitable. We fabricated a makeshift rope […]
A Day Trip to Wells
We woke up early from our sweet little campsite and left shortly after. We decided not to cook breakfast, but rather grab something from one of the cafés in Wells, B.C. This town is such an awesome little place! The vibe, especially in the summer, is contagious in a good way. All the buildings are bright […]
Exploring the Cariboo Region
2018 was an exciting year for us at Chemo RV. We sent our new friends, Josh and Jax, out on two camping trips in one of our rental trailers—and they documented their entire adventure. These first time-RV’ers went exploring the Cariboo Region and shared their stories on our Tip & Treasures blog. From Mahood Lake to […]
The Rywaczuks – Day 1: Green Lake
Well, hello there! We are this year’s Chemo RV camper family—otherwise known as the Rywaczuks! Don’t try to say it… I’m Jamie. I’ve been a Cariboo girl my whole life and love this area—the land of 1,000 lakes and so much more! I own a preschool-based daycare and I’m a mama to three beautiful girls. […]
The Rywaczuks – Day 2: Chasm
We woke up to the drip-drops of rain on Saturday morning. Nothing a little camp coffee can’t fix! It was calm, minus the massive crow that sat directly above the trailer and cawed… A LOT. Maybe he was just saying good morning? The girls got up a little while after us. Everyone had egg and […]
The Rywaczuks – Day 3: Crater Lake
Once again, we woke up to rain! But a little rain never hurt anyone, and we were so fortunate to have such a nice RV to stay warm and dry in. We got the fire going, cooked some potatoes and eggs, drank coffee and enjoyed the quiet. Well, somewhat quiet. You see, this here trailer […]
The Rywaczuks Return: Mahood Lake
Hi again! It’s us—the Rywaczuks! We just set out for our second camp of the season. This time, we chose Mahood Lake. So many locals told us that it is the place to go, so we took their word for it. We took out a nice, new Coachmen Catalina RV from Chemo RV for this […]
The Rywaczuks Return: Canim Falls
We were woken up by a loud crash at 4am—so, our second day had a lazy start! It had rained all night and a fellow camper’s awning had crashed due to the weight of rain that had collected on it. We climbed out of bed around 8am. I took our dog Duke for our morning […]
The Rywaczuks Return: Fishing Off the Bank
We slept much better our last night of camping! We woke up refreshed and grabbed our rods to try to catch a fish or two before we packed up to head home. Neighbouring campers told us the fishing is the best by the mouth of the river where the water runs in—but they must have […]
Another Year of Exploring
Last summer was another one for the books at Chemo RV! We sent our friends the Rywaczuks—Jamie, Von, Sophie and Ava—on our second annual Cariboo Region camping trips! They shared stories, videos and photos from their family adventures with us. We gave Jamie and her family a rental RV for two weekends and they set […]
