Personally, for me, Ghost Towns also include places which have experienced severe decline and are shadow of their former selves. This includes places like Kayville (south of Regina) and Counsul (near the west end of the Saskatchewan section of the Red Coat Trail) which still have residents and open businesses but which also have a lot of abandoned or vacant buildings (both houses and businesses).
@RoamingNikki Ай бұрын
For me “Ghost” feels like it should be associated with something that has died and I don’t think a town that has residents should be called a “ghost Town”. I get your point though that they are a shadow of their former selves. Thank you for commenting on this. Its great to hear all opinions 😊

I stayed at the Empress on my honeymoon years ago (like 30). It was a great stay but even then it was expensive so we only spent a night before going someone cheaper (we were in our early 20s). It is pretty though and Victoria is incredibly beautiful. I’m not Canadian and we visited in January and it was still magical.

Thanks for the tip. I had it checked twice. Once by the representative of the manufacturer of the camper and also an independent. We ran through a whole load of tests and checked with the center of gravity sticker that is on the side of every camper. It was sitting pretty 😊. It does have a designed overhang with the “porch step” and I think thats what you are seeing. Also we got the Adventurer camper which has extra headroom in the bedroom. That does make it very tall. It’s the best design for full time living with 2 people in my opinion. Thanks for the comment though. Appreciate your concern.

Get a small ac from Walmart and stick in the window( build a little flip up ledge) or myself I use the window by my sink like yours, 1/2 of the power needed then what they sell. And there is no efficient ac other then a split pump which dealers don’t sell or install . ( on any major truck camper brand) but lots on overland vehicles.

The Van we had had a completely different feel to the Camper. I felt more comfortable street camping in the van but I felt more comfortable going off road in the camper. Great idea to lift your van though. I watch a great KZfaqr called Chrome of Vancity Vanlife. He has a lifted Van and travels around BC (mainly Vancouver Island). He can get out onto the backroads because he lifted his van. Do you do much backroad driving?

To be honest I can’t remember. We sold it about 6 months ago. I can tell you that it was gas and was the most expensive rig to move that we have had so far. We knew that going just a couple of hours down the road would cost us about $100CAD in fuel. And it didn’t last too long too. There were some trails we didnt take because our fuel capacity was not good enough to get us out and then back to a town to top up. You would need a few spare canisters if you wanted to really get out in the backroads.

This is a bit late, I know, BUT... the tank sensors are notorious for false readings. If you empty the problem tank and put in about a cup of Borax and fill it with water and add some Dawn dish detergent, let it slop around for a day's driving, then drain it, and flush it, it should return to being accurate. The flush is helpful, but doesn't really break things up, especially in places with 'hard' water.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Those roots run very deep. It can be more challenging for the trees in nature, but these trees have been obviously planted at regular intervals from each other and a specific distance from the sidewalk (unless the sidewalk came after the trees), so a few possibilities exist that would give them an edge over random trees. It's quite likely they were planted by humans who could have dug extra deep holes to ensure the roots would take hold. They likely would have been transplanted as saplings so they would have weight and maturity over random seeds. Lastly, off the top of my head, they could have had poles or stakes to help keep them erect until their roots ran deep enough to ensure their stability and survival.
@RoamingNikki 9 ай бұрын
