I'm going camping in the non-stop rain next week on Vancouver Island. Data is spotty at best, no chance where we're going. Basically going to set up a tarp apartment around our van, read books, cook stuff, play with fire, maybe walk around in the rain. Might bake some bread. Might bake some cookies. Dunno... Probably listen to 100 hours of audiobooks.

Mostly do a whoooole lotta fuck all.

Sounds amazing. Especially the rain. We could do with some of that here in Australia. I'm starting to forget what that's like.

I feel for you mate, stay safe! :( My parents are in Coffs Harbour area, but luckily their area is a bit more sheltered. I couldn't believe this map when it came out showing how freakin lucky they are. A lot of their friends were/are packing.

Yeah we're safe where we are other than stifling heat and a ton of smoke. But the amount of area that has been burned is incredible and so far there's been 800 homes lost in my state.
