There is a lot of laughter here right now over the Good Samaritan theory but you should go with what helps you feel good about it all. And, yes, a new iPad, woot! We hope you will find the long lost photos unless the guilty thief stole those.
5 years agoWe had similar experience going through Ladysmith on our one and only trip through there several years ago. But it was on our return trip home. Can’t remember exactly but we were likely following the trail traveling south into Ladysmith. The trail showed on the map but was nonexistent. That was after climbing a nice hill to get to that point. So we detoured around via the highway as I recall. Approaching Ladysmith from the south in that ride we took the highway and bailed as soon as we could to onto a secondary road. And I feel very badly that I didn’t mention to stop at the bakery in Ladysmith where they produce several varieties of cinnamon buns to choose from. We stop there every time we go through Ladysmith. Probably worthwhile for you to go back for some.
Ps. I have misplaced my ipad in the the house. The next time I do I am going to look in my pannier. On the topic of missing items I left my helmet sitting on a planter at the Pender island ferry terminal last night. We had a nice night ride home on the lochside trail arriving home around 11 with the dark trail completely to ourselves.
I like my mini iPad for traveling but it might not be bad to have a larger one sometimes. Besides We can always use a backup. I did tell Scott he’s not getting a new one for at least 10 years!
5 years agoNo, it’s right there on my foot!
5 years agoDid you lose a sock there, Scott?
5 years agoQuite a good theory, I think. Better than either of mine. I’d ask her for confirmation but I don’t think I could plan on a truthful answer.
5 years agoYup. I think we’ll swing by Best Buy on our way back south and see if we can still return it. I’m sure they’d understand.
5 years agoYes, but I’m thinking it’s time to close the collection. We have plenty of entries in it by now.
5 years agoJust a little bit of backwards wishful thinking here?
5 years agoThey might be seasonal--swimming in the lake at a particular stage of development. I'm pretty sure we saw them the time we camped at Port Renfrew and watched the Perseid Meteor Shower, so mid-August (and well prior to the road being paved).
5 years agoNot a one, and I was watching for them. The sheen of sunscreen probably poisoned them all.
5 years agoRachael wanted an ipad upgrade so she hid yours. You go out and buy a new one ... your old one magically turns up ... now Rachael has her eyes on the new one. Thats my theory!
5 years agoA great addition to your collection of lost items stories - or to be fair should I say missing items?
5 years agoHey Scott
Great photo! Love the way it's framed with the mountains in the background. And I can feel the paint peeling!
Scott,
5 years agoWell, it's always best to have a backup when it comes to electronics. I don't have much of a theory as to what happened, other than the obvious, but I do have a bit of advice. Keep the two iPads in separate panniers. I'm glad it wasn't stolen because anything stolen on a trip produces an ugly feeling.
