Got up this morning to a beautiful sunshine morning. Warm enough to have coffee and breakfast outside (fried egg sandwich on homemade whole wheat bread) and sliced banana. We left camp just before 9 am. We followed our usual route across the Southern Tier of NY state ( hwy I86), north on I390 to MorristownContinue reading “July 23, Elora Gorge Conservation Area, Elora, Ontario”

Day 43: Amherst, NS to Levis, Quebec
Another gorgeous morning. We have a long day on the road today, mainly through New Brunswick. After a quick breakfast, we were packed up and out of camp by 8 am. We gassed up yesterday afternoon. Today is a 3 province day, NS, NB, QC. Only in Atlantic Canada is this possible by car, includingContinue reading “Day 43: Amherst, NS to Levis, Quebec”
Day 42: Port aux Basques Nfld, North Syndey, NS to Amherst, NS
The ferry was indeed delayed last night by 2 hours, leaving at 2 a.m. instead of midnight. We spent about 6 hours in line prior to boarding. We were quite comfortable. We stretched out on the 2 banquettes. I had downloaded a couple of movies on my phone that I connected to our television siteContinue reading “Day 42: Port aux Basques Nfld, North Syndey, NS to Amherst, NS”
Day 41: Greenpoint, Gros Morne NP to Channel Port aux Basques
Today is just a run of about 4 1/2 hours down to Port Aux Basques for our midnight ferry back to Nova Scotia. The weather is warm but cloudy with on and off rain. We stopped for lunch in a diner along the way. The scenery though was spectacular as usual in this province. WeContinue reading “Day 41: Greenpoint, Gros Morne NP to Channel Port aux Basques”
Day 40: St. Barbe to Greenpoint Gros Morne NP
Today starts the trek back to Port aux Basques for the ferry tomorrow night. I took good advantage of the services in this RV park last night and this morning. Last night, I did laundry and won’t have to do it again until I get to one of our daughter’s homes next week. This morning, Continue reading “Day 40: St. Barbe to Greenpoint Gros Morne NP”
Day 39: Pinware PP to St. Barbe via the Blanc Sablon/St. Barbe Ferry
I have to admit, this is the most boring day we’ve had since leaving home. We are only about an hour from the ferry back to NFLD and there is little to do in the area. After waking to a cloudy misty day, we had breakfast and then headed towards Blanc Sablon and the 3:30Continue reading “Day 39: Pinware PP to St. Barbe via the Blanc Sablon/St. Barbe Ferry”
Day 38: Pinware Privincial Park
Today is a ‘rest day’. We are just biding time until we can get the ferry tomorrow. However we have household chores to do anyway, and this is as good a place as any to do them. We don’t have services here, i.e., no electrical, so baking is out of the question. I can doContinue reading “Day 38: Pinware Privincial Park”
Day 37: Long Point Park to Pinware Provincial Park via Red Bay
It was cool overnight. Great for sleeping. As per usual, we woke up to a superb view. This is going to come to a screeching halt at some point. I checked the news this morning about the situation along the Labrador Hwy between Labrador City and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Had we decided to set offContinue reading “Day 37: Long Point Park to Pinware Provincial Park via Red Bay”
Day 36: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to New Hope-Port Simpson
Ferry reservations done late last night, we were finally able to get into bed. We were boondocking, ie squatting, at the local beach park that was posted no camping. No one bothered us though. In 3 years, this is the first time we have boondocked. We aren’t much into Walmart parking lots. I think thereContinue reading “Day 36: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to New Hope-Port Simpson”
Day 35: Southern Labrador to Goose Bay-Happy Valley
Today we make the trek to Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Lots of driving and no gas stations. Much of the history in this part of Canada has related to the early indigenous peoples and the arrival of the Europeans seeking its natural resources. Settlements were coastal and involved livelihoods such as fishing, whaling, logging and someContinue reading “Day 35: Southern Labrador to Goose Bay-Happy Valley”
