Started up the bus yesterday and found no ignition lights and no gauges, neither was there any charge going into the cranking battery. The day after the long weekend is not a good time to find someone to look at the problems but after some Skype phone calls I was on my way to Monto. After some investigatin...

That was with a different style of boat using gears to allow him to cast several loops of rope into the water and be at full speed by the time the ropes hit the water. That didn't happen le...

This is a really nice little spot to park up for a couple of days. I am in the CP at present which is spotless and in a nice spot. It is on the highway so traffic is heavy at times, but I have not found it too bad as far as noise goes. Right on the lake, great scenery and really nice people. Well worth the stop, as it...

There is some roadside noise, and the stop can get quite busy during the day. Heard the train in the distance a couple of times but not...
