Cruising the Caledonian Canal by Motorhome
Corpach
The Caledonian Canal begins at Corpach and from a site-seeing point of view is hugely interesting and often provides marvellous photos of Ben Nevis reflected in the calm water of the Canal basin. There is a lovely walk along the Canal side to the nearby village of Caol where you can have a bite to eat at the ‘Lochy’ one or two wee haufs and stagger back to your Motorhome for a wee lie doon.
Oban
The A830 is known as the Road to the Isles in the Highlands of Scotland which connects the town of Fort William to the port of Mallaig from where a ferry can be taken over the sea to Skye.
Meanwhile I’d like you to take an imaginary trip with me, to somwhere completely different….
Tumbleweed
Abandon all those earthly roots temptation of forbidden fruits
Set your burden baggage free kick your heels and follow me
Live a life of peaceful ease bowling along on a Kansas breeze
Like dandelion seeds on high kiss your apron strings goodbye
Lay to rest your twiddling thumbs feel the beating of the drums
Hear the tales of proud Arapahoe following trails of wild buffalo
Bouncing along gathering speed singing a song broadcasting seed
Like dandelion seeds on high kiss your apron strings goodbye
Leave behind the sparking logs come barking with the prairie dogs
Roll across wide desert plains Apache arrows and wagon trains
Bounding picking up a pace we runners in the tumbleweed chase
Like dandelion seeds on high kiss your apron strings goodbye
Not for you an empty sack a stumbling bumbling jumping jack
Look there toward the far horizon see the smoke rings are arising
Drifting from the Pawnee nation a pipe of peace our destination
Like dandelion seeds on high kiss your apron strings goodbye
Be with me as sun is setting see the young buck with the netting
Catching driftwood for the fire this will be our funeral pyre
Our seeds are scattered on the plain the journey starts all over again
Like dandelion seeds on high kiss your apron strings goodbye
