The longest road on the rugged west coast of Vancouver
Island is as unpredictable as the weather systems coming in off the Pacific.
As you leave the traffic and development of Sooke, the road ahead seems
sunny and clear. Radiant curves and cloudless pavement play hide and seek
with the ocean all the way to Jordan River, where the water views end. For
the next quarter of the route, periods of tight curves are expected, with a
20-per-cent probability of slightly rougher asphalt. Check the forecast,
though. Late in the DH, look for gale-force road conditions-- poor
visibility, turbulent pavement, deep troughs of off- camber hairpins-- to
move in over the untidy, second-growth landscape. Yet, if you like
isolation, you’ll get plenty here. And isn’t that worth a little stormy
weather?
