We love traveling, biking, canoeing and kayaking.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
We, Rose Ann and I have been camping, mostly in tent trailers since we were married over 30 years ago. For last few years we tried several options in anticipation of longer journeys in the future. We are currently traveling in a 2018 Livin Lite Quicksilver 10.0 tent trailer. We tow with a 2011 Toyota Sienna minivan modified by Can Am for better towing.
We love to travel but are frustrated with the lack of affordable options for camping in Ontario. We retired June 30 2017 and have been travelling ever since. We found Boondockers Welcome a valuable tool for us and we are hooked on Boondocking.
We are self reliant and with our solar panel are self sufficient.
I recently got my advanced HAM radio license (VA3LHX) and look forward to learning more about it as we travel.
Skills & Expertise to Share
I love to cook both indoors and out. Have recently gone back to cooking with charcoal while camping. I am fairly mechanical and have a background in electronics. I have been playing with solar panels and chargers for several years and love doing mods on my rv's. Rose Ann is an avid gardener and loves to take the photographs on our trips.
Larry and Rose Ann's Pets
We have Abbey, a nine year old Bichon and King Charles Spaniel mix. She loves to travel and loves all people, especially children and is great with other dogs and cats.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
We have so many Boondocking locations that we love. Beside a pier, a lighthouse and a garden in Port Medway, Nova Scotia is one of our favourites. We also loved the Texas coast and Deep South Texas. During COVID we have been exploring Crown Land Campsites in Ontario.

Great aventurers
Met Larry and Rose Ann at our property and soon found that they were easy to talk with. They are a couple who thoroughly enjoy the boondocking experience and heading out to new adventures. We got a tour of their beautifully restored Casita "Egg" trailer. Would like to learn more about their solar setup, maybe next time. We are glad they enjoyed the stay. Cute Abbey and our two dogs got along great.

Great guests
Had the opportunity to host Larry and Rose Ann. We had a few interesting conversations. I wish I had spent more time talking with them but it was a very busy weekend for us. They are welcome back anytime and hopefully we see them at some point.

Very nice and friendly couple. We enjoyed their company.
THE GROVE
Friendly and enjoyable
We had a lot to share and learn from them. Which is why we like hosting boondockers. And they make good bread.

Super Guests
Super couple visited on a rainy day and had a wonderful stopover. Their compact Road trek van was located on a level site that overlooked our peonies garden. Recommend them to all hosts.

Nice folks on a cold winter night!
Larry & Rose Ann were escaping the cold in Canada, but we were just as cold in Ohio! They arrived after a long drive in crummy weather, and settled for the night. Off early seeking warmer temperatures (or at least above freezing)! Wish we were headed that way too. Fine guests - welcome anytime!

Happy Anniversary!
We were honored to host Larry and Rose Ann on their anniversary weekend. They had spent their honeymoon, 30 years ago, at the Elora Mill. With the mill currently closed for reconstruction, boondocking with us was the next best thing -at least we hope it was! Nights were cool (below freezing) but that was not a problem for these experienced winter-campers. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together, had some great visits, and we welcome them back any time.
