AS A URAL BIKE PASSENGER, I look forward to adventures on
our shiny green Patrol. Our riding friends have a Gear Up and together we pour
over logging road maps to point out our newest destination. Today, we headed
out to find the Vancouver Island’s youth detention centre.
We headed north on Island Highway and after 30 kilometres
turned west on Lakeview Road. The pungent odour of evergreen trees filled my
nostrils and the narrow gravel road made me feel like it was for our exclusive
use. Hundreds of intertwining logging roads on Vancouver Island provide
adventures for those of us who enjoy nature.
We stopped once to check our map and arrived shortly at our
destination. It was no longer a youth detention centre; it was Edaus School, a
place for Korean children to live and study in an English-speaking environment.
We walked around the outside of the facility, peering into
windows to see bunk beds and small dressers. We enjoyed our lunch with a
spectacular view of Maud Lake. Later, we drove home.
