Yvan, In B.C. they are pretty flexible about camping in picnic grounds which are designated as "No Camping". They understand that when the campsites are full you have to stay somewhere. You should be forewarned that even in picnic grounds you may get charged a fee. We stayed overnight in a picnic area when the nearby campground was full. At 06:00 the next morning a government parks employee knocked on our Westy and very politely demanded payment for the overnight stay. She was very pleasant and understanding but collected from every vehicle sharing our situation. There are forestry sites that are usually in the more scenic and remote settings. Perfect sites for Westys and are Free, Free, Free. Really helpful forestry maps are available free from the individual forestry offices. One central source that has maps for all areas is Cycling BC. I don't have their web address but a search engine should find it. Happy trails Kelly Bauman Delta, BC '91 Westy At 20:18 10-05-98 -0400, you wrote: >Hi everybody > >I have the project to ride in USA and Canada with my Eurovan this >summer. I just bought my Eurovan.
