in the last century my wife and I were involved in a lot of groups including the Provincial Senior’s Association Nova Scotia, and were appointed Delegates to the \National Convention in Vancouver. Close friends questioned our interest in driving out there, We camped somewhere almost every weekend to other provinces and New England and invited them to go with us. After a bit they agreed. We went down to the States and drove through there, attended the Convention. and feeling good headed down to Southern Georgia where one of our son’s worked.then headed north through some of the parks in the Dakota’s and others, through Canada to Yellowknife where a Nephew worked, and after a short Arctic tour back across Canada to Nova Scotia again., still camping. and almost 20 years later got together a while ago, and that trip was still the main object of conversation. Camping and all.
That sounds like quite a trip, Murray! I can see how it would be the topic of conversation even 20 years later 🙂
