Our campsite last night was up on a ridge with a view of the Annapolis Valley and close to the Bay of Fundy. We woke up to inevitable morning fog but a little warmer than it has been so far. I have been asked to write a little more about food especially what we eatContinue reading “Day 7: the Annapolis Valley”

Day 6: Saint John to Annapolis Royal
It was a quick up and out this morning without breakfast. Some have asked how long it takes us to do this… 25 minutes to make up the bed, get dressed, put everything else away for travel, unplug from water and electricity and do a final check. Today is the first of several ferries weContinue reading “Day 6: Saint John to Annapolis Royal”
Day 5: Saint John, NB
Beautiful morning today. We seem to have taken the 1 hour time change in our stride. We don’t have far to go today, less than an hour drive into Saint John. Breakfast was a lazy affair of home made bread and eggs along with the usual lattes. I keep referring to home baked goods. BeforeContinue reading “Day 5: Saint John, NB”
Day 4: Freeport, ME to St. Stephen, NB and New River Provincial Patk

Day 3: Dover, VT to Freeport, MN
Travel day today and it’s pouring with rain as we bid a fond farewell to our friends. They gave us a splendid time and so good to reminisce about mutual friends. Now we start our trip in earnest passing through south eastern Vermont, New Hampshire and into Maine. The roads are excellent. Much better thanContinue reading “Day 3: Dover, VT to Freeport, MN”
Day 1: home to Dover, VT
We took our time leaving home this morning so we could enjoy one last soak in the hot tub with our morning coffee. We only had freezer and refrigerator food to pack up.

Day 16 Birmingham, AL to Warriors Path State Park, TN
Last night we were camped in Oak Mountain State Park, AL just outside of Birmingham. Turns put this is an equestrian park. We were camped amongst the stables and the horse pastures. Very picturesque. Unfortunately, severe storms were forecast and we stayed in the vehicle most of the time. Lucky for us we didn’t getContinue reading “Day 16 Birmingham, AL to Warriors Path State Park, TN”
Day 15 Mobile to Birmingham, Alabama
Our campsite last night in Meaher State Park was right on the Mobile Bay of the Gulf of Mecico. A very pretty spot.
