If any of our followers wish, they can now follow us on MotorhomeMojo.blogspot.com , we are on our way to Florida for two months, look forward to your comments! 

Friday night we connected with Trish's Newfoundland family, Jacque and Craig, they  just moved  back from Gander and bought another house in Eastern Passage,  about 3 miles from our boondocking spot, we parked in their driveway for some free electricity, we had another great reunion. Saturday night we stopped at home in Chester , did some laundry then headed back to Ellenwood Park, the Hurricane Arthur clean-up was completed and we spent a great week at the park, Paul did his South Shore Storytelling a few times aroundt he campfires, we met a lot of nice people, and had a relaxing time! 

We slept outside the gate at Ellenwood Park, Yarmouth, then headed for Shearwater for another reunion for Paul's navy days, 27 guys showed up, slept in Shearwater parking lot, then the next night we slept in the # 1 boondocking place in North America, Cow Bay, Nova Scotia, just before you reach the gates to North America's oldest trap & skeet club, the Dartmouth club, you can park and just don't block access to the water for the clamdiggers, they park there and some launch their boats each day at low tide.
Sleep there free,  during the night , then during the day move half-a-mile to Rainbow Haven Beach, enjoy the beach, the toilets, and the outdoor shower and then park outside the gate once again for a beautiful sunset. Paul dug clams there 65 years ago, yes 65, it was a church picnic and the clams were the size of your fist!

Took delivery of the new camper on Friday and left for Yarmouth County on Sunday, stopped at Risser's Beach, the campground was closed due to Hurricane Arthur. We slept in the parking lot.  Arrived at Ellenwood Lake to discover it was also closed due to storm damage and no power.  Stayed at CampersHaven ,private campground, while we were checking in, standing beside me was a gentleman we met near Jacksonville, Florida in January, talk about co-incidence!  He had told us they were coming to Nova Scotia for the Tattoo, then seeing the province, before we left home I had mentioned to Trish that we gave our names to people in Florida and they may look us up this week, but we had to be away.  Then he is standing beside me in Yarmouth, they seen the Tattoo, did not look us up, but here we were checking into the same campground,, after supper they came to our camper and we chatted for an hour, they were on their way to the Cabot Trail, eventually.
Our first meal in the new camper was baloney and salad, have to economize to pay for it!  Trish hasn't smoked for 32 days, I told her if she stopped drinking, we could save even more money,  she said she is not giving up her wine, I said she was such a whiner, she said yes she was! 

We drove the camper home today, had a few friends drop in for the christening,(drinks), played a few game of cards, shot the shit, and dream't about no snow or ice for the rest of our lives, then again , only being allowed out of the country for 180 days due to medical coverage, we figure we can't avoid winter storms on one end or the other,  leave November 30th and you will probably encounter storms on the way to Florida, come back in May and still see snow on the way North, we hear some provinces are extending the time out of province, let's hope Nova Scotia does the same! Yes, we don't pay sales tax while out of the country, but let's use the motor home for an example, $10,000 was for sales tax alone! That's how medicare is paid for, it's not free!  A suggestion to Mr. Obama or his replacement, John Kerry ,just charge Americans 10 per cent on all  purchases other than food, that would cover all medical services , if your going to be unpopular anyway, do it right!

HAPPY  'FOURTH OF JULY'   TO ALL OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS, SEE 'YOU ALL' IN THE LATE FALL!

We sold our snow shovel and other winter paraphanalia in a yard sale, but we kept the long-handled snow brush, we find it comes in handy for knocking oranges out of the tree in Florida.  Getting the camper today, Trish hates it when I call it "the camper", she wants me to say, motor home,motor home or just home in our case!
