We did a lot of mountain driving in our motorhome this past winter. I've heard that many people don't like mountain driving, however I don't have a problem with it at all. I wonder if a lot of people don't like it partly because they're unsure of how to do it properly. And therefore it makes them nervous that they're going to end up going too fast to make the next curve, or that their brakes are going to overheat or something like that.

- Out For A Bike Ride
We got another decent day here on Gaspereau Mountain, so I took advantage of it to go for a nice bicycle ride. Only problem is that we are pretty much located at the top of a hill here, it's not really a mountain. So pretty much any direction leads...
- Driving A Car Again
Unlike many RVers I don't pull a small vehicle for driving around, commonly called a "toad". So I am familiar with driving and parking my 1-ton Ford. Until we remove the camper from the truck tomorrow, I'm driving my son's Matrix. I have driven...
