Be careful of offers such as this. One of these days, I'm going to take you up on that. When I retire, I plan to get me a motor home, a nice knit cap and one of those flowery mumu dress things, and become one of those old people who drive slowly and take in the sites. Nova Scotia will be on my list.... :-)

wow, that's a lot of fog...

Just finished voting on Time Lapse, which I intended to enter but having seen the calibre of entries, glad I didn't! Will try to get in on Specs and Rivers/Streams...

...and Deb, make sure you head on over to Eastern Ontario too in your RV!!!! you can park across the road from my place at the snowmobile clubhouse!

Terry, you're more than welcome to join me. I've actually spent time trying to figure out a way to keep cats in a motor home. And to find internet connections to upload pictures. I'm seriously thinking I may do this at some point. And when I do, you're all subject to visitation...... bwaaahhhaahaaahaaa!!

Oh, and I'll take in the sights, too. Geez, you get a bit older and a bit lazy and your English goes all to hell...

58 F degrees and I believe we might have smog instead of fog. Global warming?

I bought a 1976 Travco Motorhome a few years ago. It was a blast. A big ole hipymobile. I'll post some pics sometime. I was too scared to drive it very far though, dang it! It did a lot of swaying and moaning and groaning!

You DO remember we discussed this when you visited me, and we have an agreement-in-principle to travel together? With the Cape as home base?

As for cats traveling in motor homes or van conversions, I did it for years. They loved it. The internet connections are easy now, there's a lot of wireless hot zones available.

meaning he can really hold it, or meaning he takes forever to go?

he can really hold it. we had one drive of nearly 8 hours, and when we finally stopped, he got out, sniffed around, and lay down to sleep.

The first time I drove a motor home was the summer after I got my license. We traveled from the east coast back to Utah to visit the grandparents, and my dad and I took turns driving. It was a blast! I'd just tuck in behind a truck and follow in his slipstream. Oh, and I took it after my senior year to a state park with my best friend for a weekend getaway. It was a 26 foot Kayot motorhome. We bought it used in 1976 for $6000, and sold it in 1986 for $6000. Pretty darn good investment, it was.
