On the road again
After a combined 27 years as lighthouse keepers on Lennard Island, British Columbia, Jeff George and Caroline Woodward decided to hit the road in 2020. They bought a Bigfoot motorhome, built in Canada, and set out to see where life, and the roads, would take them.
“We became big fans of Canadian parks,” says Woodward, “and stayed in amazing places on Lake Superior and the grasslands of Saskatchewan where there are buffalo running around and all sorts of amazing birds and owls and hawks.”
After having an island to themselves, life in an RV is a change. They recently checked their storage unit and realized they needed to greatly simplify their lives.
“We’re going to have the best garage sale,” laughs Woodward.—Steve Fisher
OFF THE ROAD
When not travelling, Jeff George and Caroline Woodward will spend half the year in a building that they own, built in 1900, in a little mountain village called New Denver in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia.
Woodward hopes their apartment will be the ideal retreat to write a follow-up to her memoir, Light Years: Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper (Harbour Publishing, 2015; not available at Costco).—SF
