We are well into our tour of the east coast of Canada. We spent a couple of days in Woodstock, NB before heading down to Grand Manan Island. I was an exchange student there 31 years ago. I googled the name of my host from then & lo & behold he was there. I contacted him the day before we were due to arrive on Grand Manan and he was happy to meet us later that evening. He gave us a heads up of some places we should go and we spent the next 5 days exploring the island. I also went to visit...

We toured downtown Ottawa today. I think we picked the hottest weather to arrive in. After doing some online checking we decided to take the OC Transpo. We also agreed this was the least confusing as we had gone out last night for a tour around the parliament buildings. After getting turned around 4 times even with Onstar guiding us, we were very stressed out. No parking whatsoever, streets that you could drive into but could not enter further down (don't ask), and narrow roads (tough with a truck...

We are finally & truly on our way to the east coast. We have had alot of driving in the last few days.

The next morning we drove the #1 hiway to Nipigon, Ont. What a wonderful drive, lake views, hills, trees, very pretty.We stayed 2 nights at Stillwater Tent & Trailer park. What a lovely place....

We are on the road, finally. After a few family stops ( seems it took forever). We left Winnipeg on Saturday July 7. What a nice drive down to Fort Frances, Ont. There are a lot of lakes in that area. We spent the night at the town operated camp grounds along the shore of Rainy River. Pithers Point Park was very nice and relatively cheap ($31), we had to dump at the municipal dump as we were leaving but that was ok. We had water and hydro hookups with a communal fire pit that was quite...

It is almost Christmas. We have stayed home for the last two months and just spent the time helping out my sister with the girls. We did take down the screened in room about the middle of Nov. This was done in advance of a storm/wind warning. At one point I think we had wind gusts around 80kmh. Really rocked HOWie. My uncle has moved in beside us from Creston, BC. He has a MH that he wants to trade for another 5er that is winter proof. The current MH has no insulation so tanks will freeze on him....
