Victoria Harbor!

Made it to the ferry parking. Just!
The gates to the Black Ball Ferry parking lot close at 4:30 sharp. If you make it by then you can park for the night. We had lots of time to make it except there was an accident on the Malahat about ten vehicles in front of us. It was a devastating head on crash that left all three people seriously injured but probably alive. Traffic was held up for two hours.
We arrived at the ferry at 4:40 and it was all locked up except for the exit lane! I drove in the wrong way, made a u-turn and parked, hoping no one noticed and ordered us out. They didn't so I think we are good for our 10:30 AM ferry.

EDIT: OOPS! We just got a stern warning! I guess where we drove against the arrows is Canada Customs property and they take a dim view of trespassers! Well, If they didn't want us there they should have locked the gate.

    Good thing they didn't have those no entry tire spikes.

    Just hope on your return the same Customs person doesn't welcome you back to Canada.

    Badass.
    Did Norma know she hitched her wagon to such a rebel?
