With the heavy travel behind us, and we do mean heavy, the road to Holberg off of Highway 19 is in moderate condition now that a landslide on KM5 has been resolved. Events like this solidify the caution travellers should take while navigating these roads. Unexpected potholes/washboard/flowing water and grade change conditions can sneak up on you so take caution and check your speed regularly to avoid any potential incidents! All of the tremendous rainfall we’ve had and continue to experience certainly contributes to the size/depth of potholes and water flow unpredictability so again, exercise safe driving habits and remain in control and aware. During the rainy season you can expect visibility to be a luxury not often available so flick your headlights on to add to your own vehicles visibility. December 4-12 the Wanokana Mainline road that connects Coal Harbour and Holberg at 54KM will be closed for bridge installation work. This means there is NO THROUGH ACCESS to Holberg FROM Coal Harbour on these dates. There will be warning signage posted on either side of the work sites. In Holberg just past the Scarlet Ibis you will note a road closure/detour sign due to a road washout. The detour is clearly marked through the Western Forestry Products camp yard but be aware of any active logging traffic or other travellers while continuing to your destination. Logging traffic is at a minimal for the time being but we have noticed new roads being formed for cut block access around the 10km road marker on San Josef Main. Keep in mind the logging traffic has the right of way and trust us - when you come head to head with a Fat Truck you’ll see why!! Best course of action in this situation is to simply reverse to the nearest pull out or wider section of road and allow an easy pass for our friends on these roads. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife in and around the woods edge - you never know when you’ll lock eyes with a Black Bear or Roosevelt Elk! The Fall rains have increased the height of the rivers and creeks dramatically but all bridges are passable. Ample parking is available at the Cape Scott trail head parking lot - with the exception of the lower portion being used as a drop zone for the helicopters assisting in an ongoing effort to clean up after shipping containers and their contents washed up back in October. It proves to be a slow process but is looking great up to this point. San Josef Bay beach is free and clear of any debris. Thanks for reviewing these beneficial notes and practices - have fun and be safe exploring our breathtaking beaches!
