RE: UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS
Tomatoes seem to hide salt taste.
If you look at your labels on the cans with tomato products in them, I think you will find that they have huge amounts of salt. Although you can shop for those with the least salt.
& if you value your health, even with the lowest amount of salt per canned tomatoes, and canned tomato sauce, you won't add any other salt to the recipe.
As someone with high blood pressure, I'm told to have no more than 1500 mg of salt per day - 1 teaspoon is 2400 mg in salt.
If you insist on salt taste, use one of those 'no salt' items.

RE: Simple Cast Iron Question...I hope
Look I live very near salt water, like within sound of fog horns.
I store my cast iron in my house.
With Dutch Ovens, I leave the lid on the oven.
I mesh, i.e., stack, frying pans.
My cast iron is just seasoned. I don't do any stuff like put a fresh coat of oil on my ci after cooking with it.
So, I may live in the land of fairly high average humidity, but I don't get rust because of how I store things.

RE: Newfoundland
Once I was hiking with my dogs. Nice quiet sunny afternoon. Not too narrow trail, trees, but not thick understory next to us.
& I spoke to the dogs. WHOOSH right beside us, less than 10 feet away a moose rose from its rest and ran away.
Of course, we all jumped, almost out of our skins.

RE: Canada trip
You are crossing borders, after all.
Check the sites recommended in the stickies at the top of this page.
Those things which can pick up insects easily, and you've named them, will be taboo.
Now, just stop and think a minute more. Canada has good healthy food up here too.
& some real ethnic yummy meals in our eateries too. IMHO, you try locally prepared food once a week, as part of your travel experience.

RE: MOSQUITOS---NOVA SCOTIA
Any one have a good way to make a screen for the tailgate window?
I'm thinkin velcrow tabes glued on---but thinkin the tabs will not stick well to the screen.
Go to sewing/yard goods shop. By velcro. Sew this to your netting. Buy netting at camping store so you get mesh small enough to exclude No-Seums.
Consult auto body shop as well as other stores on type of adhesive. You want to glue the fuzzy side of velcro to your window borders and sew the coarse side to your mesh netting.
I've done it, but it's been awhile.

RE: ontario to east coast
No longer a ferry to N.S. from Maine. Seems like awhile after the
high speed Ferry crash with a fishing boat they closed down.
Ferry closure: Wrong. The ferry was closed because the province of Nova Scotia discontinued it's subsidy.
But there are talks under way to find a way to reinstate the ferry
-- To Maine Coast. From Montreal to Sherbrooke to Island Pond, to Showhegan to Bangor to Bar Harbour. Take route 1. Enjoy. I used to own harbour frontage near Lubec, ME.
You might want to walk up Mt. Washington, too.

RE: MOSQUITOS---NOVA SCOTIA
You bet your bottom $ you do. Every year, including the rather dry ones.
I expect it is especially important this year. You see there is a rather heavy problem for insect predators, the bats. White nose syndrome is raging through this continent. &
"The majority of food consumed by bats includes insects, fruits and flower nectar, vertebrates and blood. Almost three-fourths of the world's bats are insect eaters. Bats consume both aerial and ground-dwelling insects. Each bat is typically able to consume one-third of its body weight in insects each night, and several hundred insects in a few hours. This means a group of one thousand bats could eat four tons of insects each year. If bats were to become extinct, it has been calculated that the insect population would reach an alarmingly high number."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat
So, we all have more insects to put up with this year.

RE: Driving from Brackley Beach PEI to Annapolis Royal NS
Brackley Beach may be northern PEI, but the driving time is reasonable. & I don't really know. I'm going to guess 2 hours when you're not trying hard.
From Charlottetown to Halifax is 5 hours.
BTW. from N. Sydney, NS to QC is a day, and about 1,000 km.
I had a look at google maps in google.ca and they added kms galore by going almost all the way down to Halifax before turning west. My experience of Nova Scotia is that secondary roads have plenty of transport trucks on secondary roads. Or, IMHO, their route is a waste of time, gas, and $.

Road Conditions
Look, you can find information re. road conditions yourself. You don't have to ask or bring up a thread from months and months ago.
- go to domained search engine such as: www.google.ca
- search province name and government, ie. Ontario government. Scan page for road related word. Follow links.
- http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/trip/
- http://www.roads.gov.nl.ca/construction/default.stm
- http://www.highways.gov.sk.ca/
You can bet your bottom $ that the words "highways, roads, or transportation" are for one of the most popular request topics everywhere.
:)
ps I'll grant you that may not tell you 'we promise to have this fixed in 3 more days' or such 100% of the time, but certainly it's a good starting point.

RE: Eastern Canadian Provinces suggestions please
How much time do you have?
Newfoundland. Anything less than 3 weeks is one awful tease. & you can consider going via Labrador and the North Shore of the St. Lawrence too. There is a recent thread on rving via Labrador. Also check my signature pics.
QC, historic Quebec City, Forillion National Park....
NB going: Acadian Historic Villiage (living History), Hartland longest covered bridge, either way: Fundy tides and parks,
NS going: 5 islands Provincial Park, Farmer's Daugther store in Whycocomagh, drive Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Meat Cove..
Cross over North Sydney to Port aux Basques, Codroy Valley, Corner Brook, one week for Gros Morne National Park includihg hiking, boat tours, 2 visitors centres, Cow Head Theatre, esp Tempting Providence, Northern Peninsula especially Viking sites and St. Anthony. Go up NP one way, come down another. Meander across the island to St. John's - Lots of selections. While on east. Bird Sancturary Cape St. Mary's
Come back to Port aux Basques for return. Consider Red Indian Lake and Burgeo en route.
Like I said, minimum of 3 weeks for NL.
Return NS. Fortress of Louisbourg, living history, Historic Halifax, boat Bluenose II reconstruction, historic Yarmouth,
Take ferry Caribou to PEI, Orwell Corner Village historic Village including animals, historic Charlottetown, Charlottetown Farmers Market Saturday morning. New Glasgow Lobster Suppers, Buffaloland Provincial Park, Brudenell CG, Mill River CG.& more.
You pay when you leave PEI, not when you come. Bridge costs less.
Go via Saint John and do Saint John City Market. Might be better to do Fundy going. Take ferry to Grand Manan Island*. You might want to do ferry to Deer Island then Campobello Island with International Bridge to Lubec, ME. Or you can go via St. Andrews to St. Stephen and some interesting coastal cruising via Route 1. Lots like Bar Harbour
*There is a current thread on Grand Manan
The interstate highway and Highway 9 are boring. More interesting, IMHO is Bangor, Skowegan, Island Pond, QC. Of course you miss Mount Washington that way.....
Sites which are one off or only ones like that for planet: Gros Morne National Park, Bay of Fundy has the highest tides on the planet, L'Anse aux Meadows Viking Village is only one for the continent

RE: Canadian thinking of buying Class B in Oregon
Go to section called RVing Canada and Alaska
1. there is a current thread, which actually has been running for some time on 'buying in the USA'
Google up Registrar of Imported Vehicles. Follow what they tell you to do.
Remember to stay down one week. You will have to pay either GST or GST & PST, if your province says to do so. If you stay down one week you save paying tax on quite a bit of $.
2. Check stickys on top of opening page for RVing in CA & AK.
Good luck.
:C
added links.
Aw shucks, I thought it might be good for the thread starter to look around the page and find "Jump to Forum", look down that and find the right section, then browse there. Or try out advanced search.

RE: Grand Manan Island NB
I went in 2005.
I would make a reservation, just to cover the might happens.
I stayed at the provincial campground. There were two and room in both was fine.
Two deer farms. Loved them. Great museums and other places to show you what's special about this place in the middle of Bay of Fundy's World's highest tides.
Hope that THE Bakery is still on the go. It's easy to find because of the many vehicles stopping to buy.
Walking, boating, bird watching........

RE: On the road shopping list
Good news folks. Thanks.
Re. what to take across border or not, see stickys at top of section page.
But think insects are attracted to: citrus fruit, root vegetables.....
But you can buy just enough to take you to the next border, then support local after you cross.

RE: Newfoundland
boil ban on water you get there
You will find this at all the Provincial Parks, think about it and then decide if you want to bother to boil the water or not...
& when in doubt take your 4 litre vinegar jugs into a local store and ask where you can get some drinking water.

RE: Prepaid phone for use when in Canada...HELP
If you have an extended contarct with them they may not let you Temp.suspend service. Also be sure about the rates Canada has independantly owned Cell service. The roaming charges are very high. I will be stopping at the first Wallmart I come across in Canada and get a throw away phone.
Doesn't have to be Walmart. You might consider buying at a Canadian store for a Canadian product. I've seen Walmart give up on some issues, including rv products, when the local buyers made it very clear that they would buy from a Canadian source.
