Each day we parked our Motorhome on the Expo Grounds. This fence was behind us and then a shear embankment with steeply terraced garden.
We parked overnight on a private driveway in North Vancouver. We got up at 6 am and drove across the lions Gate Bridge to park on the expo grounds, then got the kids up for breakfast. We returned as necessary during the day then returned at 9 pm for hot chocolate and then watched the fireworks. Put the kids to bed, then crossed the Lions Gate about 10 pm.

Our fifth day was Michaels Birthday. We made pizza and birthday cake with dry and unrefrigerated ingredients we had packed in.

This is our Tandy 1000 with 5 1/4 disks and daisy wheel printer (not in photo). $2600 Cdn in 1986! (Just like Young Sheldon uses in the TV Series). Note the dial telephone with shoulder rest. I began my telemarketing career here by calling businesses across the continent before 8:00 am and after 6:00 pm to talk advantage of the $1.00/minute Long Distance Toll rates.
