Moving Out Of The Caboose

As we lock the doors of our mobile home we know that summer has come to an end. The mobile home better known to many as the caboose has been winterize against those harsh Canadian winters and cleaned so as not a speck of food remains. We have started this adventure with lots of forethought, planning, and excitement. It all began 5 years ago when we bought our first coach and travelled to Cape Cod. Yes, we were hooked, line and sinker.

The Caboose

For the next 6 months along with our two chihuahuas Lulu and Stuart we will be calling our 40' Itasca Latitude coach, home.

The Latitude With An Attitude

As we travel down the highway it's not to the sunny south but instead to Milton Heights Campground just 30 kms away. This is home for the next 3 weeks as I finish up work and like most snowbirds wait for almighty date (November 1) to leave Canada.


Milton Heights Campground

Campground Entrance

   
In 1960 Frances and Conrad purchased a 60 acres parcel of land with the intent of raising and breeding purebred Hereford cattle. Unfortunately for Conrad but fortunately for campers he was allergic to hay. Hence, the quick end to a farming career. Being travelers, they realized there were no campgrounds in the area and in 1971 Milton Heights Campgrounds was born. Cattle ground to campground.

Original Homestead

Much of our stay is divided between working and getting things ready to travel south. Also, frequent trips back to the caboose either to drop stuff off or picking stuff up.
