Hey adventurers!
I want to share with y'all a recent trip we took with a group of 8 friends up here in Chilliwack, British Columbia. We had a total of 3 cars for the trip: 2 Teslas and 1 Rivian. It was a short weekend getaway, and we wanted to go somewhere a little remote. Luckily, we knew a friend who had built an off-grid geodesic dome in Chilliwack, which was being rented out on Airbnb. He kindly invited us over since it was still early in the season and bookings were not yet open. We were really excited about our stay, and the weather turned out to be amazing for the weekend—sunny, dry, and warmer than the usual spring temperature.
For food, we decided to bring our Instant Pot so we could make something simple and easy to feed the big group. The Instant Pot really came in clutch; all we needed to do was toss in all the ingredients we brought and let the magic happen. We brought dried chickpeas, carrots, celery, spinach, tomato sauce, vegetable broth, and some seasonings. With all these ingredients, we made Moroccan chickpea soup and boiled a pot of quinoa on the side for everyone to enjoy. We had a bonfire and mingled throughout the night.
We had rented some paddle boards in advance, so after waking up and having coffee the next morning, we headed down to Cultus Lake, which is only 10 minutes away from the dome, and spent the rest of the afternoon at the clear and beautiful lake!
