the evolution of a prairie boy residing in BC...

Boler

Friday, August 21, 2009

It started life in Winnepeg in 1971, this efficient little home on wheels has now landed in our personal care. After secretly dreaming about having one for some time Yael finally found it online for sale on our local Squamish Facebook buy and sell. Thinking she one the lottery she quickly messages the owner and sent me down to check it out one evening. I knew we had to act fast as these things have a little bit of a cult following and there was a lot of interest.


We decided quite soon after I came back that it was worth trying out and therefore we have joined the ranks of boler owners. Bring on the road trips, the easy overnights and rainy day adventures. 



To test it out we have takin it onto our maiden voyage not to far down the way to the Cal-check campgrounds just outside of whistler. It's fair to say we have some work to do with figuring out the best sleeping arrangements. Isaac started on the little bunk bed bench bed but quickly found his way with mom on the double and I was resigned to the cramped single bed quarters somewhat trapped and feeling uneasy if a bear crashed thru the door (a scenario your mind plays thru when you wake up and begin to hear things at 3 in the morning)
 



Yael in her happy place, first morning with coffee in hand.


Little French toast to get the engines rolling. Then a little hike to the bridge.
