Yesterday while at work I came across a couple from Florida hauling this beautiful Bowlus. They were parked on the side of a secondary road looking lost, so i took the opportunity to turn around and ask them if they needed help. They were simply driving around looking for adventure and couldn't decide whether to go to Grand Manan Island, or to Newfoundland...lol. They were also looking for a a good walking trail to exercise their two dogs. I told them it was their lucky day as I know just about every good trail in the area, I to Grand Manan several times a year and have hiked just about every trail there over the years, and I just came back from two weeks in NF where we hiked the entire time.
What a great couple of people with a good sense of humour. We talked for quite a while, had a few laughs, and I gave them all the detailed info they could handle for where to go and what to do. They wanted to call my boss and put in a good word for me but then I told them the real reason I stopped was to look at the Bowlus.

I told them that I came across a web article about their revival a couple of years ago but didn't think I'd ever get to see one in the flesh. They just chuckled and gave me a nice tour of the interior and a walkaround. The interior is what you would expect from a high-end boat. In fact, the exterior looked like an inverted boat. What a beauty! Very expensive but real craftsmanship doesn't come cheap. He said he bought it at a trade show in Vegas when it was introduced and got it at a significant discount. It was one of the first produced. It was being towed by a Range Rover. It was one classy setup.

I saw lots of really nice adventure style motor homes while i was in NF, but nothing of this caliber. Made my day!
BTW, they decided on NF.
