Jack bought a motor home in the early '90s. He spend some time getting it in order...making it perfect! The purpose of buying the motor home was to visit his daughter and family in Mazatlan, Mexico. The trek was from Victoria, BC down to Tucson, AZ. In Tucson they would load up the motor home with things from the shopping list from daughter. These were mostly things you could not get in Mexico at the time and things for Christmas for the grandsons. From Tucson, it was a clear shot down to Mazatlan.
Jack and Jane would arrive at the end of October and stay until the early Spring. These were fun times for everyone. They met lots of interesting people at the motor home park including Doug Booth and wife from White Rock, BC who they kept in touch with until recently.
When Alex was 5 years old Jack and Jane took him back to Canada with them. They stopped in Vegas and visited the Hoover Dam. Great fun was had by all.
The motor home days ended when his daughter and family moved to Cabo San Lucas in '97. The idea of driving down the baja was not appealing, especially due to the danger factor on the single lane highways.
When not in use traveling to Mexico the motor home sat outside Jack and Jane's house. It was Jack's bachelor pad. When people came to stay at the house Jack would retreat to the motor home for some quite time. He would make his tea and watch the news out there. Of course, after lunch it was the perfect place to have a quiet siesta.
