Another beautiful day in Nova Scotia, so we took a drive to Berwick about 90 miles from our campsite to see Dorothy and Jimmy Sheriffs. About four generation back, her grandfather Hussey is the same as Ruth's. James Hussey settled in Aylesford less than 10 miles away. It was very interesting to learn about the area and hear about the farm James owned. After a few hours at Dorothy's home we took them to lunch at a nearby restaurant. When our visit ended, we took off for Morden on the Bay of Fundy shore.

Melvin really enjoyed riding with the top down on Lucy (our 78 VW) and posed for a few snapshots. The drive back to camp was uneventful. However, as we pulled in to our spot I noticed a coach had parked beside us and water was pouring onto the ground! I shut off their water, but couldn't tell the origin of the leak. Guess we'll find out when they return from their trip. If it's inside, they're going to be pissed!

Yep, it was inside. When the owners returned I told them and he quickly checked the service entrance. No leaks there. Next they went inside and came back out with long faces. Apparently a faucet was left on and when the grey tank filled, so did their 40 foot Winnebago! Not much else was said and we stayed clear. Look out for a Winnie with low miles on eBay.

Tonight we had shiksa bob and corn on the cob. Found out the small propane bottles only last 3.5 meals if you cook baked potatoes. They take1 hour.

Tomorrow we brake camp and head for Cape Breton :)

Flooded Winnie reminded me of camping with Sandy when her toilet water ran all night and flooded a good part of the floors. She tried sopping it up with towels till I convinced her to buy a wetvac. Ugh!!! At least it was clean (?) water.

Were those Husseys related to Judy Cox, too? I am lost in the genealogy web.

Glad you are having some good weather.

Is the flooded Winnie still there?

OMG - How terrible for poor Winnie! Let that be a lesson for all of us.... always check the faucets and toilets before you leave or go to bed!!! You guys are going to have so many interesting stories to share when we meet up!
