Re: GPS recommendations
Been using my Garmin RV 760 LMTGPS for quite a while. It has a 7inch screen and comes with a suction cup mount You can use it in RV Mode or Normal vehicle mode when not using the RV. The Rv Mode gives you RV Routing and Warnings, Directions to RV Parks and RV Services. Weather via Smartphone link as well as traffic conditions. I would give mine two thumbs up. Funny story I was heading on the highway to the B.C Ferry and it was telling me to go off of the highway and take a different route. Knowing that the route forward was the best and quickest I ignored it, bad decision within a few miles we were stopped and crawling along the highway. Won’t make that mistake again. Like all GPSes you have to be aware where it is leading you too but all in all pretty good....Mike454Views0likes0CommentsRe: Travel into Canada
If you do believe your trip to Canada is essential and can persuade Canadian Customs you might make it in. There are ways to transport weapons and you can discuss that with them ahead of time and file the required paperwork. But Please! Please! Don’t lie to them when they ask and don’t try to hide your weapon. They are really good at their job and the consequences are more than you want to pay. And we really would rather keep you as a friend and for you to come and enjoy our country.....Mike723Views0likes0CommentsRe: Good Oyster Digging & Clamming Spots on Vancouver Island
As you go by Qualicum Beach on the old highway there is a road on the right called Kincade before you get to Riverside Rv park. Turn right go to the end of street and park. Don’t take the bend to the left. Walk over the berm and angle to the left toward the water. Good clamming, oysters and suntanning, Don’t forget you need a fishing licence and there is a daily allowance per licence. Study the saltwater fishing guide and have fun. Riverside Rv park looks like a fun place if you have kids. Water slide pool and games. Be careful don’t catch the virus even though there is no limit....Mike P.S. this place is a secret so don’t let anyone else know. :B926Views0likes0CommentsRe: Longer closure gathering momentum...
On Vancouver Island the reason we have lower stats with the Virus is “We have a moat around us” :) Sorry if you think we are being harsh with the border but we have worked very hard to avoid this Virus and it would be a shame to negate that now. This thing is not done with us yet. It is better to err on the side of caution. When you look at the number of people who have died from this it is hard to see each one on its own. I bet their families would have liked us to have done more. I hope there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel......Mike376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Be Kind!
Stewart B.C. vows to look after their Neighbour a small Town in Alaska that has no access other than crossing the US Canadian Border. This is the Way it should be. Proud to be a Canadian. I quote a comment left on the CBC web page. “Invisible lines are no match for people with big hearts” How true. CBC News.CA445Views0likes0CommentsBe Kind!
It’s terrible what is happening right now. People are scared and in fear of losing there loved ones. We are all in this together. This Virus is not picky on who it attacks. We need to support and help each other and to do what we can. This is a time to make it about someone else not about you. Be Kind, stay safe and do what you can to stay healthy......Mike5.5KViews0likes26Comments
