A wicked weird co-incidence
Yesterday afternoon we loaded up what we had to take to the dump and headed out for that and one more stop. When we came to the end of our road at the stop sign on US Route One, I spotted an AWARD travel trailer going past. I said, "Look Becky, an AWARD just like our old one!" and pulled out behind it. As soon as I did I realized that not only was it the same model as our old trailer, it WAS our old trailer! We sold it to a couple who live nearly an hour to the south of us about five years ago! I suggested that we follow them and see if we could speak with them at some point. "What if they are going camping in Nova Scotia?" Becky asked.. (Damn women!! Always thinking sensibly!!) "They will have to stop for gas somewhere.." I answered tersely.
Fortunately they went to a campground just up the coast, that was before our second stop and we were able to speak with them. They still enjoy using it and actually had the front window replaced. (It had three holes and cracks in it from our trip on the dirt roads in Alaska.) He somehow got his insurance company to replace the window and told me it cost them more that he had paid us for the trailer! I think the windows were made in Denmark! They were supposed to be like jet aircraft canopies and it was said they were bullet proof! Could be, but they sure as hell weren't 'rock' proof!! I didn't replace it because I never thought of trying to get the insurance company to do it and they were wicked expensive.
It was good to see the old girl that had been our 'home' for nearly two years from 2003 to 2004 while we toured all of the States you can drive to (not Hawaii) and most of the Canadian Provinces. (Not Nunavut - no roads!)
Pretty weird though, to come out our road just as they were passing by, what are the chances of that happening??? (I'll let Boo do the math on that one!!)
