The 2013 book from the 2011 fourth big book tour:
Our fourth caper around Canada started with a bang! Packed for the next trip Boo the Menopausal Van 2 burst into flames parked in a Powell River mall. That was the beginning of our Western Canada tour to Churchill, MB. We changed over to an older motor-home. There will be no more rigs named Boo after our last couple van’s hissy fits. Boundless beauty, breakdowns, fascinating people, polar bears and belugas filled the summer of 2011. From the wilderness of northern British Columbia, to the prairies of Alberta, to the farming communities of Saskatchewan, and up to Thompson, Manitoba where we took the slow train to Churchill to make our polar bear dreams come true. Different from the three previous RV Canada travelogues, RV Canada And The Polar Bear Dream will touch your heart like never before as the story takes a tragic twist at the end. At the same time the book tells of selling at markets to help pay for the trip, and offers valuable RV resources and tips.
Between the 32′ motor-home and the car we covered 18,129 km. Since the first trip in 2003, our adventures have taken us 69,062 km or 41,437 miles. That’s a ton of stories, people and scenery!
