10 years ago was probably the peak of Discover in Canada.  Its rare that I even run across a sign anymore.  MasterCard or Visa are the way to go.  Even Costco has dumped AMEX and is going MasterCard come January.

Interesting, I wonder if that is true for Costco in the US.

CoolGoing to BC next July 2015....Vancouver island and western mainland...  looking for information on campgrounds, whale watching, bear tours, surfing, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking.  Any ideas or secret spots would be appreciated.

We’re just returning from a 4100+ mile trip. Four and a half weeks, 2 countries, 15 states, camped in 10 plus ON. Thanks to our Canadian members I was fully prepared for their awesome provincial parks. Two nights each in Killbear and Chutes. The parks were very well maintained, sites were well spaced and treed, and park personnel were great, The extra length power cords came in handy and the turning leaves were beautiful. Definitely will do this again but  probably further west. One note: cell phone data (ATT) is very expensive so I’ll be looking for an alternative next time. Maybe a Canadian cell phone/data plan? The Camplite 21 and Tacoma combo worked great. No problems with either except the gunshot sounds of acorns falling from 50 foot oaks onto the aluminum roof Ouch.  And Niagara Falls?  Canadians definitely have the better side. Awesome!

LOL, I was working in my Salem yesterday and kept wincing as the acorns dropped on the roof.

The difference is, I'm convinced, squirrels were up there throwing acorns down at us. Either that or Canadian bears carry 30-06s Wink

One thing I love about camping forums, they really bring people of many countries together.  Not just west of the Atlantic, either.

It is really, really nice, and not too far from you. Go there, but check on their season. You'll like it.
