Thomas Raddell Provincial Park - Nova Scotia

We didn't get here until about 6:00 because we took the ferry from St John, which left at noon and arrived in Digby at 3:00.  Once we got to Liverpool, we got off the highway and drove 2 miles, and then  entered the park and drove gravel roads for two miles, and then checked in
 and drove dirt roads for two miles and finally we were right on the ocean.  A very secluded campground with two or three other people.  Site 72 next to the path to the beach (no utilities).  We are on Atlantic time which makes 5:00 come an hour earlier, also make it so it's still light at 10:00.

Rockwood Park - Saint John, NB

The sun came out today.  The Maine coast was sunny and foggy, all the way from Bar Harbor to Canada.  We ate lunch at Cobscook Bay.

Finally into Canada to spend the night in Saint John...did laundry which cost two loonies a load (a loony is a $1 coin CAD) and tomorrow we head to the ferry to go to Nova Scotia on a three hour ride.  I'm excited, but it will be another 5:00 arrival tomorrow.

Seawall Campground - Acadia National Park (2nd night)

It stays rainy and cold, but we are enjoying it.  Went for a bike ride to a lighthouse which helped work off some of the two day feast that we had with family.  After a lunch of wedding soup, a parting gift from Sie, we drove the 27 mile loop around Acadia, with a stop at a blow hole, and a scary trip to the top of Cadillac Mountain.  The wind was howling and rocking the RV, the mist reduced the visibility to a few feet.

Seawall Beach - love Maine!

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

Seawall Campground (Acadia Natl Park) - Bar Harbor, ME

Sadly, we departed from the family and headed for Maine.  It is still cold, which we sort of like, and raining which we sort of like, but the two together, not so much... We stopped at the only observation bridge in the U.S. and the highest in the whole world.  445 ft up! We made it to Seawall and settled into their best site, C29 (no hookups)

Surry Lane - Pelham, NH

Two days visiting with family.  We set up the RV on the pad that Lou built many years ago for his Lance.  He filled in a few holes, and we gratefully appreciated it.  We spent two warm days with the sun shining.  Had a fire going in the firepit for 36 straight hours.  There was so much food, Deb and I just moaned when we got back to the camper, or maybe it was camper itself moaning at the additional weight.  Got to see almost everybody, and caught up.  Finally breakfast with the in-laws at a local diner and we were off to Maine.

Promise Land State Park - Greentown, PA

Since I was stationed in Norfolk in the 60's, I have wanted to take the Cape May - Lewes ferry from Delaware to the southern tip of New Jersey .  Deb has no idea why riding ferries is a thing, but fortunately for me, she tolerates it.  Drove thru Philadelphia (we may be buying a new GPS after that), and then to the Poconos. It was Friday night and we normally go out, but we got in a little late and the view of the lake was fantastic.  We sat on the porch of the RV and watched the rain, had caprese and then a dinner entree of Beef Stew.   We ended up at site 111 with just electricity, in the dog friendly loop.

The Cape May - Lewes Ferry in the rain

Cape Henlopen State Park - Lewis, DE

Off on our Northern Adventure.  In preparation for heading to Canada, we lowered the temperature for all of Virginia by about 20 degrees, and added three or four inches of rain.  We feel like we are in Nova Scotia already... Tonight at Cape Henlopen, the site of Fort Miles, a stronghold in WWII, where they actually did fire one shot at the enemy.  It's been a little cold and a little rainy but we got a good walk between down pours.  We got some fresh produce at a local fruit stand...it was all from Georgia...so it was local to somebody. Just for the record we are at site 94 (water. - there is no electricity and no generators on a parallel parking site)
