Most of the year I disperse camp off-the-grid, miles from the asphalt. I love coming across places like this (October 2013). It’s hard on the rig but I have a Northwood Nash 17K.
We have a 28' 2014 Springdale travel trailer, and one of our favourite places to visit is Kootenay Lake. My older son loves to fish while his younger brother loves to lend his moral support. Here they are taking a break from fishing long enough to pose for a photo.
My husband and I were visiting the Nelson/Balfour area for the first time in our 1970-something Boler travel trailer. On arrival at the campsite, we were assigned a lakefront spot and when we parked, we were the only people there; however, as we set up camp, neighbours arrived to the left and to the right of us. Once we had set up camp, we decided to take a drive to Balfour and as we were pulling out of our campsite, I looked back at our trailer and this picture is what I saw. The difference in size between us and our neighbors really tickled our funny bones. We've now graduated to a 28' fifth wheel but we still talk about our little Boler, how much fun we had in it and how simple life was back then.
