"This is my 1974 Chevrolet Contestoga. She is built on a ton and a half chassis (so I was told) and she comes equipped with a 350 and automatic transmission. Since this photo I have completely redone the interior in a Bohemian/Romanian Gypsy trailer design. I'm surprised how well she travels down gravel roads and in the back country. I found this nice little spot by the river and set up camp. Her 22 ft. body give my dog and I ample room to cook and sleep."
My husband and I were visiting the Nelson/Balfour area for the first time in our 1970-something Boler travel trailer. On arrival at the campsite, we were assigned a lakefront spot and when we parked, we were the only people there; however, as we set up camp, neighbours arrived to the left and to the right of us. Once we had set up camp, we decided to take a drive to Balfour and as we were pulling out of our campsite, I looked back at our trailer and this picture is what I saw. The difference in size between us and our neighbors really tickled our funny bones. We've now graduated to a 28' fifth wheel but we still talk about our little Boler, how much fun we had in it and how simple life was back then.
