HOME SWEET HOME ON WHEELS

Wed, 5/12/10. One thing we enjoy and have fun with is exploring the unknown. Don't suppose traveling in an RV should change our lifestyle, but at this moment...we feel a little spastic figuring out how to operate and set up a home on wheels. Took some time this morning to reorganize STUFF (I'll admit, the STUFF I brought along is far more than what Tim packed).


RVTip#2 - bring LOTS of two sided sticky velcro tape. Things that you like to be within reach (toothbrush holder, TV remote, bottle of wine, etc.) won't go flying when you go barreling down the road.


The area of a"Thousand Islands" has communities on both sides of the US and Canada along the St. Lawrence River with amazing homes on them. Tim's question.. "where do you walk the dog?"







We're still in Ontario and driving along scenic Rt. 2 looking for another quiet park by the water.
It's getting dark-- let's try John E. Pearce Provincial Park. It's location seems further than what it shows on the map, but we keep driving and it's getting really dark, and really late - 9:30pm. Turning down a really, really dark road towards the park, our headlights shine on a gate blocking the entrance. CLOSED.









Turning around, our headlights shine on a marker that reads "Spicer Trail." Whoa--Spicer is my maiden name. Anyway, I looked it up.. it's a 1.4km dirt trail through meadows and a centuries-old hardwood forest, passing the historic Backus/Page House (1850).










We backtracked to a main road, and while squinting in the dark, found a few picnic tables in the distance. We did not hesitate to park there.
